"Yes, treating people well is the "right thing to do" but why? Whose standards? Society? If there is no moral absolute their is no standard against which to judge right and wrong.
Besides, holding your place at the end has nothing to do with how you behave, it has to do with who you trust to hold your place.
When days come to an end is like handing in a test at the end of class. The die is cast. No second chance, you pass or fail.
If, as you believe, there is no God then all I believe is irrelevant and all I did and am will amount to nothing. If, as I believe, there is a God then many are in trouble at the end of the test.
God bless." GM
Well, I don't need someone to tell me what is "human"....I have my standards, I treat others as I would want them to treat me. I like to make people feel good, important and you know what, I think I came up with that on my own because I choose to do that everyday. I have more "faith" in myself and know that in the end, I answer to how I choose to live, and cannot blame or congratulate anyone or anything else. It was all on me.
So after I die, I will be as before I was born....
I trust myself to be the best person I can be for myself and those in my life or those I touch while I am living.
