That sounds very similar to my own thoughts. I feel like there is no divine score sheet on which you get points for good deeds or great achievements. Doing good and achieving greatly are fine for those involved or affected, but outside of that is doesn't really matter. And as time passes, it matters less.
I don't believe in a god or higher plan, and some days ago I watched a documentary about some people who believed in some sort of rapture or judgment day. I thought that it must be nice to have such a belief, in that it puts life into a greater perspective that gives intrinsic meaning to it all.
The fantasy world of The Lord of the Rings can be a nice break from thoughts of meaninglessness, I find, as in that world, there is evil and there is good, and there are battles that have importance for the world.
I know what you mean, I'm an atheist but I can see how faith would benefit some people's quality of life, someone I knew for example was extremely religious, she never worried about what happens after you die and she always felt loved, she never had to think about the unanswered questions that bother me,
Yes, My king, I do agree with you. It is indeed questionable if there is any type of God. For I have been told to pray, by my Jewish/Born Again Christian Aunt. And just the same, as your friend, she's not worried about, Life, Death, or any other, Matter. I think these beings are self deluding themselves. For I too, even as a Queen have many unresolved worries.
Is it normal to be disappointed with life?
