I don't believe in an afterlife and I don't have any children, so I could in theory live in an ego bubble and care about anyone or anything. Instead I try to do at least the bare minimum of a decent human being and more when I can. I'm way not perfect and I fuck up regularly, but I do put in effort to be and do better.

It's weird to interact with people that have kids that will inherit the earth but these people don't seem to give a fuck about neither. Even more if they tout symbols of faith yet act in direct opposition to the general "be nice" that is central in most so religions.

But I try not to be too hard on those people too. Life is difficult for everybody.
