any fool can be happy. It takes a man with real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep.

Atheism rises above creeds and puts Humanity upon one plane.There can be no chosen people in the Atheist philosophy.There are no bended knees in AtheismNo supplications no prayersNo sacrificial redemptionsNo divine revelationsNo washing in the blood of the lambNo crusades no massacres no holy warsNo heaven no hell no purgatoryNo silly rewards and no vindictive punishmentsNo christs and no saviorsNo devils no ghosts and no gods.

When someone you love dies you are given the gift of second chances. Their eulogy is a reminder that the living can turn their lives around at any point. Youre not bound by the past that is who you used to be. Youre reminded that your feelings are not who you are but how you felt at that moment. Your bad choices defined you yesterday but they are not who you are today. Your future doesnt have to travel the same path with the same people. You can start over. You dont have to apologize to people that wont listen. You dont have to justify your feelings or actions during a difficult time in your life. You dont have to put up with people that are insecure and want you to fail. All you have to do is walk forward with a positive outlook and trust that God has a plan that is greater than the sorrow you left behind. The people of quality that were meant to be in your life wont need you to explain the beauty of your heart. They already understand what being human is----a roller coaster ride of emotions during rainstorms and sunshine sprinkled with moments when you can almost reach the stars.
