Imagine1

In ten years time...

In ten years and three months I will be celebrating my 31^st birthday. I imagine that, based on the traits of my character I’ll have made myself a home by then. And with love, and a dash of luck, i'll also have celebrated the birth of more than a few kids.

In ten years, with a much bigger dollop of luck, I’ll be prowling the court rooms of England, arguing in my role as a barrister.

As an atheist brought up in a Catholic environment, I don’t know overly much of Judaism. But if I recall correctly the Jewish tradition has it that a good man, a good Jew, should give away one third of his money to charity, or to the needy. Now, maybe I’ll settle for being an ‘ok’ man, because donating a third of my income to charity is going to be tough sell with the amount of kids I want, and the quality of life I want for them.

But…

From an Atheistic position on life, I find it hard sometime to develop an objective sense of right and wrong. After all, I don’t believe in a personal deity.

And this is where my kids come into play, even though they’re not even a sparkle in my eye. More like a spark along the neurons.

--------------------Question: Where is God in the eye’s of an Atheists?

---------------------Answer: In the eyes of the Atheists children.

In ten years time I want to be able to say with confidence, that I am a role model for my children. That when they look at me, they have reason to be proud.

In ten years time I want to be a proud father.

And when my kids reach the same age, I want them to be equally as proud of me. That means that I’ll be changing the world for the better, every way that I can.

I think its more likely to be an earthquake, rather than a famine which brings Tokyo low. But with the type of person I want to be, I’m going to be the one trying to hold the tectonic plates in place with my bare hands.
