WHY - A LOGICAL EXPLANATION OF LIFE-5
These are all logical concerns, but the evidence points to the conclusion that our situation isn‟t as grim as it might first appear. We‟ve already established that we exist for an infinitely valuable reason, and what little time we have in life is infinitely valuable. Death doesn‟t change that. The value of one moment isn‟t effected by anything that happens (or doesn‟t happen) afterwards. Furthermore, you don‟t have to wait until after death to find consequences for our actions. You can call this “the rule of immediate karma.” The decisions you make and the actions you perform at any given moment shape your experiences immediately. If you fill your life with anger, hatred, pettiness, etc. then that‟s what you‟re going to experience in those fleeting, irreplaceable moments of your infinitely valuable existence. It doesn‟t matter if you‟re not punished for it later because you already suffered the consequences of an infinitely negative nature the moment you did it. On the other hand, logical, positive behavior rewards itself immediately in an infinitely valuable way.
That‟s what‟s on the line. So given the infinitely rare chance to exist and be aware of your own existence…And given the epic scale of miraculous work that went into creating you…And given the fact that there is an infinitely valuable purpose for your existence…And given the possibility that you were created intentionally by an intelligent agent…And given the fleeting amount of time you have to fulfill your purpose in this universe…And given the fact that how you live your life has infinite consequences regardless of whether or not there‟s an afterlife, the most important thing you can be doing with your life right now is asking yourself, “What‟s the most important thing I can be doing with my life?”
