Myth #07: “It’s the End Times, so it doesn’t matter.”
(also heard as “YOLO” or “You should enjoy life while you can.”)
Whether or not the world is going to soon end has absolutely no bearing on the level of decency and justice we are to show other beings. And besides, you may not know it yet, but there is no greater Joy than knowing that you are purposefully & willingly living in alignment with your own conscience; that you are purposefully & willingly living a life that causes no intentional harm to others.
But don’t just take my word for it … Try it and see for yourself!
Current status of this Myth: Nullified

“Disavowing the life of another does not just cede the one whom you care for into social unintelligibility, but it also cedes part of yourself into social unintelligibility. Every time you do this, a part of you becomes unreal and ghostly.” ~ anonymous
