Ideas like cosmic justice, collective hope, and national redemption had nomeaning for me. The truth was in the everything that came after atheism, afterthe amorality of the universe is taken not as a problem but as a given. It was thenthat I was freed from considering my own morality away from the cosmic andthe abstract. Life was short, and death undefeated. So I loved hard, since I wouldnot love for long.
