Aural Sects

We’re all dying. All of us. Every day the cells weaken and the fibres stretch and the heart gets closer to its last beat. The real cost of living is dying, and we’re spending days like millionaires: a week here, a month there, casually spunked until all you have left are the two pennies on your eyes

Death is not a release, but an incentive.

Believing in an afterlife totally negates your current existence. Underneath every day - every action, every word - you think it doesn’t really matter if you screw up this time around because you can just sort it all out in paradise.

Only when the majority of the people on this planet believe - absolutely - that they are dying, minute by minute, will we actually start behaving like fully sentient, rational and compassionate beings.
