As an existentialist I offer these words to my fellow OT people. Often people feel that there is no meaning in life, that we are candles lit only to burn out and that will be the end of us, because they feel that there is no after life, no existence after death. I say that these people are denying their very own human nature, that is the tendancy to be curious, and to hope that there is something after death, that there is a reward for doing good in life, and a punishment for bad. Deep down we all want to live on after death, some just want to live forever. Everything happens for a reason, some say that, "no good goes unpunished" that happens, because I believe that bad things happen to good people because it is a test of these people to see how they will react to something bad happening in their life. In order to appreaciate the good, we need to suffer the bad, because we do not know what we have until it is gone. So I say carpe dium, sieze the day and live life as a good person.
