Well none of it is going to affect you personally so it makes sense. Grandma and grandpa were going to die sometime, and who cares if the grandchildren are going to have a hard existence because the world they will grow up in is much more harsher than ours? We probably won’t see substantial consequences of our actions in our lifetime, so why not YOLO? Only if there is really a God would we see any kind of punishment for this attitude.

But still, if you had some empathy for those who are older or much younger (not even born yet), their would be a lot of guilt in this thinking, the shame would be deserved.



Such a bitter angry hateful sad way to go about your life. Wishing for god to punish people for not being a mopey sad sack like you are. Lot of projecting in your comment I'm afraid, none of it applies to me despite your seething armchair psychology.


I was sincere in my comment. I don't wish punishment for anything, and I'm pretty much an atheist when it comes to God (so eternal punishment isn't waiting for anyone who doesn't "do the right thing"). I'm not projecting at all, and since you are a throwaway account, I'm pretty sure you aren't here to do much more than troll anyways. It just is what it is: some people care about the future, others just care about YOLO, just lots of self gratification I guess.

You might want to consider whether to have children though, they change the way you think about the future.


I was sincere too. Hope you manage to cheer up and stop being so scared and hateful one day and wishing for god to smite people for not being the same way you are.
