A Reflective Moment

A Reflective Moment Now in my late seventies I have left behind me any vestige of religious feelings, on the contrary I think religion is bad for humanity. Death is therefore not an enemy but an end of conscious life. Then the process of degrading begins and last till we are earth and the dust that settles on books that never got read because the TV was a bigger draw ones taste is decaying. My lack of beliefs has freed me to sleep and not worry whether I wake up or not I snooze like a baby which has stopped crying and should the morning arrive – I hope it will- and a new day begins, for when you die the world dies too.
