Knock Knock Knock-in On Heavens Door

Knock Knock Knock-in On Heavens Door

Are you doing everything in your power to put yourself in a position to be knock, knock, knock-in on heaven's door? Are you just going about your business on a daily basis assuming you'll get in? Do you make decisions with your money and how you treat others because it's important that you'll be in a position to be knock-in on heaven's door? Do you really give a shit if you get in? Do you even believe there is a heavens door to be knocked on?

I'm of the latter. What I do with my life has nothing to do with me wanting to be knock, knock, knock-in on heaven's door. The decisions I make with my money and how I treat other people has nothing to do with trying to get through that door. I'm happiest when I do good for myself and others. I leave it up to religious people to believe their actions have anything to do with a mystical place called heaven.

I guess it makes some people feel good that there is a heaven and a hell. That way they can feel that evil in the world will burning in hell when they die. That way they can feel great when they do something selfless because it increases their chances of getting through heaven's door. To both of those feelings, I'm calling bullshit.

Evil people are going to the same demise as good people. When they die, they are either going into the ground or their ashes will go where the people who have the rights to determine where to put them will prevail. I know I sound cynical, but living my life or judging how other people live their life is not for me. 

Unless they are mentally ill, evil people are unhappy people. They hate themselves as much as they hate others. They know what they are doing when they do bad things. Their inter-person is full of loathing for their adult self. They laugh at the outside world for being suckers. They show no remorse for the bad deeds they do. However, unless they are just plain crazy, they are already living in their own created hell.

Good people don't need heaven to justify their good deeds. The things they do makes them happy. Happiness is their goal. Helping others, not cheating on their taxes, making a positive contribution to society, etc. enables them to be in heaven on this earth. 

Who the hell wants to wait to die before we can be rewarded with the greatness that some of us call heaven? I want to be rewarded NOW. I do the right thing because it makes me proud of myself NOW! I give unconditional love to myself and others because it feels so good NOW. 

This heaven and hell crap can hold you back from enjoying the goodness of today. This heaven and hell bullshit is not going to make an evil person less evil. If you focus on how you engage the world today you will be either rewarded with positive energy or negative energy. It's your choice NOT some religious teachings that was passed down to you by your parents or someone else who used heaven and hell to set your path in life.

To those who hate this blog make sure you do everything right even if it makes you unhappy soooo, when you die, you'll be:

Knock, Knock, Knock-in On Heavens Door.
