It is arguable, though not provable, that one cannot live maximally well in this world without also hoping beyond it. This, for some, will be psychologically impossible. If it is psychologically possible for you, then go for it. You will be in the company of great minds. The belief that death does not spell the annihilation of the person is not unreasonable. But then your life-task will be all the harder: live in such a way as to deserve a life beyond the grave.
For some reason — probably my mother’s unconditional love of me — I have always rather liked myself and been content to deal with whatever comes along.
