As someone who’s also glad, the falsehood that we get what we deserve after we die is a very harmful one.
Justice doesn’t come naturally or in some fairy tale afterlife. Justice came to Brian because someone else saw to it that it did.
The world would be a better place if people weren’t deluded into believing the universe or some imagined deity will make things fair. It’s a very pretty lie, but it has equally ugly consequences.
If we want a just world, we need to make one. It won’t be handled off screen for us. This life is all we get.
I wish Krampus was real and visited greedy adults.
Imagine how great the world would be if the most effectively greedy sociopaths that basically rule our civilization with an iron fist to drive up their ego scores were simply, magically dissappeared every December 25th for trying to bribe or blackmail their 3 ghosts instead of listening to them.
As a parent, I would love to be able to look my kid in the eye and honestly tell them not to be greedy, because bad tidings come for the greedy people at night, instead of teaching them to fear them because they’ll mow you down for an extra nickel if they can as they do.
