@PatriarchsHittingMarks Read Nietzsche, love life and the world, not through hedonism, but with life affirming values of strength, glory, discipline, exceptionalism, arete, splendor, health, and beauty. Do not sacrifice your precious life for trinket promises of an afterlife. Do not think that by being overly modest and shying away from virulent challenges that you'll be rewarded after you die. Instead live your one life to its fullest, and reject any intangible faith based promises.
