Comment Can't we all just get along? (Score 1) 1067

After decades years of living, I've decided I'm tired of the uncertainty of what happens when I die. Would there be any serious harm in universal consensus that said being dead equals zero? Maybe it exists already, not sure. But I run into it all the time in every religious person I've worked with. Does anyone want what happens when they die to result in anything other than zero?

As long as you are making up shit, you can make up whatever you want, but it doesn't make it true.

I went thru the phone tree (something like, existing service, changes, remove or downgrade...) and I am sure I am per-routed to the "customer retention" expert.

I want to cancel TV altogether from Cox (Keeping Internet only). All representatives busy... estimated wait time 8 minutes. (I am in minute 10).

My grandparents were fallout of WW I - They left the Ukrainian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and came to the USA. I never met them, since they died young, working in shitty jobs like rubber factories (cancer) in Detroit.

Fast-forward... since I never met the "folks from the old country" and only knew my mom and a step father who raised me as American, with no particular culture, other than American, I don't have any animosity towards past aggressors, I am happy with my lot in life.

My take-away, as trite as it may seem, is "what you don't know can't hurt you", and if you forget your (possibly shitty) past and just go forward you will be fine.

If you think you are owed something from those who went before you, you are in for a big disappointment, since those people are dead, and those who are here today only want to know "what have you done for me lately".

Do something and stop whining.
