The Atheist Monk

coqueline · June 30, 2005, 21:51

He is a self assured atheist, born of atheist parents. Don't believe in God, has never tried to believe in one, and has no plan of complicating his life with starting to search for one.

He lives by a very simple spiritual philosophy. So simple it's Zen-like in its beauty, if not innocent and idyllic.

He likes to help other people, because it makes him feel useful, and he takes pleasure in knowing that his effort makes someone life's easier.

He believes that dying is the end of it. He doesn't dwell in his existential arrogance, and is fully accepting if he has to end up as nothing but dirt.

He doesn't believe in the after life, and has no greater expectation of it except that people he knew in life would always remember him as a nice person they love when he died.

When asked what would he do if there is god and afterlife, he said he'd simply tell god: 'Sorry, but you just didn't make yourself clear enough for me to understand when I was still alive.'

He lives in the utopia of spiritual peace, not half I have been able to achieve in my frantic search of spirituality all my life. He lives to make the most of his own life, and not obsessively looking for ways to please a deity to bribe his way to some mythical afterlife dream.

I would want to live in a world where everyone is just as atheistic as that...

Well...saya belum bisa memberikan "jempol" karena mungkin Sdr. coqueline ataupun He (The Atheist Monk) juga tidak membutuhkannya

. Saya hanya bisa memberikan pertanyaan sederhana : apakah He (The Atheist Monk) menyadari adanya aksi dan reaksi , cause and effect ?

Semua orang pasti menyadari aksi reaksi, cause and effect to a certain degree, it's only logical. Cuman, kalo dihubungkan dengan spiritualitas, definisi cause and effect buat orang2 yg faithnya beda toh beda juga. Ada yg percaya kalo berbuat jahat bakal masuk neraka, ada yg percaya perbuatan jahat akan kembali ke dirinya, ada juga yg percaya perbuatan jahat ga ada efeknya apa2 kecuali masuk penjara.

Anyway, tulisan kecil gue diatas hanyalah hasil observasi gue terhadap seseorang yg gue kenal yg kebetulan atheis. Dia bukan atheis karena tidak percaya tuhan, tapi emang ga mikirin apakah tuhan itu ada apa engga. Gue menemukan kalo dirinya yg atheis ini hidup dalam caranya yg damai banget, some form of spiritual peace yg malah jarang banget gue temukan di orang2 yg katanya beragama.

And u might as well as introduce this great sage to us, so we might learn some from his way of life

That's another redeeming quality of him; he doesn't preach...
