My self eulogy to be read at my funeral

I wish I could say some of you touched me.
You didn't.
We never actually touch anything; the electrons in our atoms repel things which get too close. We feel the energy of the electrons repelling things but we never actually feel... the things.
Our clothes, a hand, a punch... we feel only energy.

Nothing matters.

The Milky Way galaxy is made up of between 100 billion and 400 billion stars. We estimate there are between 100 billion and 200 billion galaxies.
Using the low end of these numbers, if just one planet in each galaxy... just one... of 100 billion stars contained life, there would be 100 billion planets that harbour life.
We are not alone. We are not the only life in the universe, not the only consciousness, and not the only lives that search for truth.

Nothing matters.

We are, each of us, unique bundles of energy on what Carl Sagan called "a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." This mote of dust is home to uncounted energy beings, from trees, ants, tardigrades, and water. Even the Earth itself is made of energy.
And there are 100 billion planets of uncounted energy beings.

Nothing matters.

Now, pay attention... here's the tricky bit.
If nothing matters... if we are not unique in simply being alive and we can't even touch each other, then how we treat each other is the most important thing any of us can do.
Why? Because if all we have is free will... if we can possess nothing and life is not unique to Earth... if nothing matters... then our only benchmark for morality is what we do with our free will.

So clasp the energy of the hand of the person beside you. Share your energy. It will feel good for a while but you must understand it is only energy you feel. It doesn't matter.
To truly and honestly matter to anyone or any thing... to touch the only way we can touch... the only way any of you touched me or touched anything...
Be kind.
Be gentle.
Love.

"If not God, what do you believe in?"

Fear Not

SJWs, religions, 3rd wave feminists, and the regressive left are too frightened of dealing with their own issues to do so, therefore they expect the rest of us to change society to fit their fears.
This is precisely what we must not do.
To live in fear... to merely react to any uncomfortable change with denial and obstruction is to stagnate the evolution of the human race, or at the very least to change our evolutionary course to one of mere survival, as opposed to one striving for growth and greatness.
We must act in the best interests of future generations and choose the wisest course for humanity.
The fearful are a mostly harmless minority that have always been present in the human tribe. They are successful only because their agenda is censorship in the guise of fairness and that censorship happens to fit very well within the one percent's plans for society. The fearful get massive coverage on the news and politicians quote them and enact laws for them.
Look at the difficulty Bernie Sanders has in getting air time with his proven, reasonable ideas, compared to the air time the fearmongering Donald Trump gets.
Bernie unites; Trump divides.
Any group that fits the one percent's plan gets plenty of media air time.
Want some air time? Simply shout your message that, "Nothing should be allowed that hurts my feelings!"
What a great message for the one percent!
"Sorry, your rights make these people afraid, so we're going to have to take them away."

We are cowards

The trouble with humanity is cowardice. We are cowards. We knowingly do wrong or witness wrong without acting and rationalise it afterwards.

We are afraid of death, so we accept religions which promise eternal life. Religions offer many ways to erase the guilt of doing wrong, especially when the wrong helps the religion flourish.

We see wrong being done and do not speak up. We walk by and think, "I have a family," or, "It's none of my business."
It is your business. If you don't speak up for other's rights, you will lose your own rights.
And would you want your children to know you saw something wrong and did nothing, or that you saw something wrong and helped?
What lessons will you teach your children?

When you see wrong being done to someone, speak up. Act. Get help.
Because wrongness is growing. It is being spread by religions, by special interest groups, and it is not being resisted by the only force capable of stopping it, which is not governments, churches, or businesses... it is you and I, the people who witness wrongs and turn our backs.

Because we are cowards.

"Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity..."

Not because of what people might think.

Not because you want to be a hero.

Not even because it's what you were taught to do.

Never be a spectator of unfairness or cruelty for the simple reason of being the person you want to be and loving yourself.

If you see someone being bullied, you can step in and feel good about yourself or ignore it and feel guilty.

It's that simple.
