I do not believe in any greater being calling the shots
I do not believe in any exterior Heaven or Hell.

In the end, The Great End, will it be taken into account that I can balance a checkbook?
That I have the astonishing ability to give you the electron configuration of an element?
I do not believe these are things with which to be wasting what precious time we are allowed.
We should be living. Truly living.

Yet, it should be taken into account that "living" has a different definition to each person.
To some, living is simply keeping your blood rushing and lungs inhaling

But what good are veins if you cannot feel excitement overpowering blood?
What good are lungs if from time to time, they are not left barren from pure beauty?
