But there is another aspect that has not been emphasized sufficiently and I am sure rationalists and humanists believe deeply in this. And what I am referring here is not the negative but the positive reaches of rationalism and humanism. And in the last analysis that is the most important thing we can do. We can demonstrate that it is possible to live the good life here and now. But it is full of meaning in another.
Life is an opportunity, and it is pregnant with meanings.
But the life that you live depends upon your choice. So, life is an opportunity. Every person's life is like a work of art. Monsieur Pecker is an artist and he is drawing in his hotelroom in the evenings. But that is life itself.
