Anywhere, be everything that you can possibly be at that moment.

@Kev_aa: thanks for the link. Rarely have i watched everything i detest wrapped up that neatly in one person.

If i am really wrong and a god exists and if he really redeems such persons to an afterlife*) in heaven - then i actually demand to be damned. I figure, hell is probably as far away from heaven as possible and that is the minimum amount of space i want to have maintained between such, ahem, persons (for lack of a better word) and me.

*) The concept of an "afterlife", that is: a life after life, is indicative that we haven't understood the concept of "life" in the same profound way we have understood the concept "book" or the concept of "sandwich". A read book is - finished. Nobody would, after reading a book, try to read after the last page of it in the hope to find the "afterbook". An eaten sandwich is - gone. Nobody would search the empty plate for an "aftersandwich" after eating it.

@krasnaya God loves you, my friend. God Bless You.

@Kev_aa It's always amusing when someone just replies with a simple "God loves you" to a well constructed argument. Feel free to give some justification for your claim at any time. We'll be here.

Ironic as it might be, I found this quite helpful and motivating in its own unique way. Reverse psychology can work wonders sometimes. It's also pretty funny in the way it presents things.

Yes, I also have a question... what is "reverse psychology?" just wondering and God bless you all.

Typing "reverse psychology" into a search engine the first link that came up was from Wikipedia. Following this the first Sentence there is:

source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_psychology

Reverse psychology is a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite
to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the
persuasion to do what actually is desired.

I have a question... how have you managed to tie your shoelace alone?

I'll just quote wikipedia cause I feel a bit lazy: "Reverse psychology is a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what actually is desired."

In this instance, the creator of the video presents ways to maximize misery, probably hoping that it will motivate or persuade viewres to do the opposite and strive for happiness as any healthy person would.

Also, there's no need to end your posts with "God bless you" here. People can also live a happy life without any superstitions.
