happened to me, and I became an agnostic for 40 years.

Then I began to gradually change. Having a physical body that is
able to think, feel, reason, love, make choices ..... and become
nothing again after a few decades made me feel that there was no
meaning to life, to having existed -- none at all.

Today I follow no particular religion, but I do have a philosophy of life
which might be described as a type of spirituality.

There are no dogmas and no doctrines. We only accept what resonates
within ourselves. The reason is this: What resonates within us is what
we are ready to accept at that particular time. We each are at some
level of spiritual development. At age 20 I thought differently from the
time I was 10. At 40 I thought differently from the time I was 20, etc...

The same thing applies spiritually. We are all growing and continue
changing at our own pace -- hopefully for the better. We come across
new ideas every now and then. What we might not accept today, we
could very well accept another time. Unlike fear-based religious sects,
there are no threats of any kind -- ever. Love is the important thing.
This appeals to me, even though I fail at it frequently. It sure beats hate.

The above attitude has given me more peace of mind than I have known
in the past. I'm satisfied with it.
