I think it derives for the most part from a deep seated anxiety about the unknown, and from the pain of death and death of loved ones. Hence the fantasy of another place where you and your loved ones may live happily, forever. <br /><br />"I feel like my ability to think, perceive, and feel emotions in the vortex of my own perspective is amazing."<br /><br />I can relate with that feeling. To me it seems almost so amazing that i feels like everything had to have been made purely for me. It makes me feel like success in my goals is inevitable, simply because of the fact that i'm able to perceive the world in the first place. But then i'm reminded if that were the case then everyone around me would have to exist only as pawns, only there to be like npc's along the way. Sort of like philosophical zombies. Though i know that's unlikely, and that its far more likely i'm just one insignificant piece in the grand scheme of things.<br />Roshawn Terrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575030242761754543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870989333828162642.post-81910362540340145902016-09-19T23:55:30.053-07:002016-09-19T23:55:30.053-07:00Its me, faffywaffy.

Even without a god, i think the ability to perceive, and feel emotions in the vortex of my own perspective justifies my existence.

Even without a god I feel like my ability to think, perceive, and feel emotions in the vortex of my own perspective is amazing.

We all desire unlimited comfort and that is why we expect it to exist somewhere. <br /><br />And by the way, your last sentence seems to label belief in hereafter as something under-productive ("first stage"), despite the fact that many successful people's motivations were religious-based (Newton, for example).Syed Rizvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878146532218164797noreply@blogger.com
