That you can still cry is good little turtle... there have been times when I couldn't cry or even smile or even want to eat... they told me my dopamine was down... don't know if they told me the truth or not.... I thought somehow neurotransmitters balance each other to reach some level of homeostasis. I wonder what happened to my serotonin or nor epinephrine.
Like you I don't believe in heaven or hell for me. Over the years I have realized that belief in God and not good makes me weak as a person. But then you have passed on your genes to your next generations and you'll go on living in them you know and it's the same for all of us.
Yes there is cruelty everywhere like you say. But in all the cruelty that there is I have to make an effort to stay happy myself.... and enjoy life. If I punish myself and deny myself happiness because others are suffering I won't be able to help them either.

I got to stay strong.
