My Philosophy

Riches are not priced in gold nor in numbers of beautiful girls nor in the number of deaths that you claim in a day.  Riches count as act of love, kindness, healing the sick, helping poor to riches and service to others.  Then you will die in the knowledge that your life was the best you could offer.

 

You do not gain life by killing, you only gain regret, death will get you, even if you live ten thousand years or even ten million the angel of death will come for you and those you love.

 

When death comes it always a surprise and it is terrifying, painful and sick and you cannot fight the angel of death he always wins, you get a reprieve but if you are evil your death will hurt more than if the life you led has been the best you could do.

 

You cannot stave off the angel of death by praying or making offerings to your god, nor will doing good works save you nor stealing empires.

 

Half of those that have ever lived are dead and the rest soon will be.

 

Soon that black angel will come for me and you.  Possibly not today, he did not come yesterday but there is always tomorrow.

 

He came for Mum the other day and she shouted and cried out in fear and pain but she was reprieved that time and lives on for a little time longer.

 

We will all be gone quite soon so make lives of our friends better and spread a little happiness around with nice things done.  Like giving away your money, giving shelter to someone worse off than you, there is always someone.  And not to be jealous of the people who are richer and don't plead charity.

 

Do not laugh or jeer at the sick, you might be there soon, do not stone those already in the gutter, you may trip yourself tomorrow.

 

And do not vilify the deformed or those with missing parts or those who cannot walk, the angel may take you some day and a blade of the footpad my sear your face or cut off your arm.

Oh and I do believe that somehow I will live on in God's memory and there I will have the opportunity to apologise to people I have wronged or in war I have killed then God will give me something I have never really had in life, which I do not understand.

This philosophy applies to all sentient beings, not only biological, chemical or mechanical but also to electronic people called androids after all there is no difference philosophically.

 

That's my philosophy.
