So many people spend their life wishful thinking. It’s a flaw in our chemistry. We are genetically programmed to look for patterns and reasons. It’s a survival gene. Unfortunately, you can build stone circles, cathedrals, temples and mosques; you can invent thousands of gods, you can devote yourself to prayer – but that doesn’t manufacture an afterlife or any deity who will rescue you from danger. Hard luck!! Time we lived in the present and appreciated the wonders around us. Then we might look after it a lot better!
