"I'm work obsessed.
No, I don't conform, but I get on with what is required.
And I do have an opinion ... which may be a problem.

And I mean taking the job seriously, not taking myself seriously."

I would love to believe that when I die I will live again,
that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue.

traditions that assert an afterlife,
I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.
Carl Sagan
"When I became convinced that the Universe is natural -
that all the ghosts and gods are myths,
there entered into my brain, into my soul, into every drop of my blood,
the sense, the feeling, of the joy of freedom.
The walls of my prison crumbled and fell, the dungeon was flooded with light and all the
bolts, and bars, and manacles became dust."
Robert Ingersoll
