“If you know what life is worth you will look for yours on earth." – Bob Marley
What do you think? Is there any truth to Marley's statement? Why or why not?
Yeah it's true.
People put up with a lot of crap because they assume this life is only a test for the real reality to come.
Wait... what? Is that what this was supposed to be about? No wonder I don't get it. That is a completely foreign idea to me.

Yes, that's what it's about.Wait... what? Is that what this was supposed to be about? No wonder I don't get it. That is a completely foreign idea to me.
Why?I disagree with Bob.
I agree with it. It calls out the debasement that many religious perspectives put on the value of human life.“If you know what life is worth you will look for yours on earth." – Bob Marley

I think that Bob Marley is speaking against the standards of Christianity.The word "life" indicates life AS WE KNOW IT.
The ONLY life we can know is this earthy existence.
( A good definition of "moral".)
As I am a moral person I try to live my life according to certain standards.
- concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character:
synonyms: virtuous, good, righteous, upright, upstanding, high-minded; More- holding or manifesting high principles for proper conduct:
These standards are those I've learned from:
My parents, family & associates; flawed as they were.
My environment; as imperfect as it is.
What I have learned by going to church when younger.
What I've learned in life's experiences....and more.
I haven't a clue what happens to humans after the death of our earthly bodies.
Do we have an eternal spirit?
Does some "god" judge our earthy life according to some "godly" standards?
I don't know those answers either.
I DO KNOW that bad behavior as judged by social norms can be quite painful.
Should we do something illegal we could get caught and punished. Not good.
If we commit some civil tort we could get sued and loose money. Not good.
If I hurt others by my conduct I'll be shunned and have emotional pain.
In many ways that my be worse than going to jail or getting sued.
I choose to live according to social standards.
Those standards in this society seem to be Christian Bible based.
Good enough for me.
Where did our society get these social standards?
I suspect they are all Christian Bible based.
I'm not excluding other religions here. I just don't know what those other religious
standards are but suspect they all promote sound social and personal values.
Thoughts please?
