I don't know... perhaps because part of human nature is to occasionally (or
perpetually) do the opposite of what we should know is right?  Because most
of us have trouble seeing beyond the immediate?  The possible answers are
aplenty.

As far as I'm concerned, if God (or whoever) decides to take everything I
own from me, I'll survive with Eternity in mind.  Yeah, I'll be upset at
first, but hey, it's just STUFF.  And that's quite the point of all of this
hubbub.  Life is here for a few decades, and then *poof*, it's gone, and
what do you get to take with you?  Nothing but a nekkid soul.

Well, my fiancee just got here.   Gotta go!
