I just know that, at the end of the day, if you need the promise of a better afterlife to be a good person, that you’re probably a shitty person in disguise. You should be a good person, a better person, because it is the right thing to do for your fellow man/woman. Regardless of religious, political, geographical, or otherwise.

Maybe I’m naive in believing this. Maybe it comes with my young age. But fuck even a small part of my belief thinks this is the overarching goal of our species
