Unless that question is an integral part of your belief system, it is not something on which most of us human beings exert any effort to ponder on a daily basis.
I’m not going to say I have the answer, but I can tell you honestly that all I have is hopes and thoughts of the afterlife, but at the end of the day (don’t you hate that stupid expression?) I know about as much on the subject as the next newborn baby on the planet.
What we do before our useful life comes to an end is what matters.
Not how much money.
Not how many followers you have.
Not how many mansions you own.
How many people did you help?
That’s why it is truly refreshing when I hear of a wealthy individual being generous.
They don’t have to.
It’s not written down anywhere that they have to do it.
And if you are one of the general masses (like me) “help” doesn’t necessarily mean a million-dollar donation.
You can “help” someone who is having hard times and holding up a sign outside the doorway of a 7-11 store by looking them directly in the eyes and acknowledge their humanity.
Smile.
That look will let them know they still count, they still matter despite their current status.
You can volunteer your time to help a plethora of worthy causes.
Pick one.
In retirement now, I have chosen my little furry friends at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton as mine.
When I play out at bars, clubs or breweries as a solo act, I will donate any tip money I make to the HSGD and when I play nursing homes, rehabilitation, and memory centers, I donate ALL proceeds to them.
I also am trying to put together another musical benefit for them sometime before winter hits, as I do every year.
I’ll keep you posted on that.
Did you know there is a ceasefire going on in the Iran Fiasco?
Evidently neither did Iran, who launched a new battery of missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain early this morning.
Now she starts talking.
Jill Biden, one of the worst First Ladies in history, has suddenly found her voice and can’t shut up.
Where you when you had a chance to open up your trap and improve our Education and School systems being the lifelong educator you purport your dumbass to be?
STFU.
Elon Musk, the “genius” whose electric vehicles don’t resell, whose electric trucks are a POS, whose spaceships blow up on the launching pad or shortly after getting airborne, and who is the second-worst pillager of the American coffers the world has ever seen, is poised to become the planet’s first trillionaire.
I can’t relate.
You?
All that money and he is still a douchebag.
The BBC is reporting the president is refusing to surrender financial documents to them in the midst of his 10-billion-dollar defamation lawsuit.
What a shock.
Not.
Trump’s plans for a 250-foot Victory Arch, another self-tribute, are under scrutiny by the FAA as it sits very close to the Ronald Reagan airport.
I have no doubts that somewhere, in an Iranian desert, there is someone who is thinking “it will make a convenient target”.
Stay well.
