Topic > Essay on Meaningless Life - 720

If you don't live a proper life, you will go to hell and suffer for all eternity. The problem I have with this is that there are different religions with different beliefs, so how do I know which religion is the correct one to follow or not. For example, in the Muslim religion, if you sacrifice your life for Allah by committing suicide and blowing yourself up, you will be blessed with 72 virgins in paradise. On the other hand in many other religions suicide is a sin and if you commit such acts you will go straight to hell. Some people become atheists, do not believe in a higher power and believe that life has no meaning. Nagel says that as long as you don't constantly ask yourself questions about how and why we can live life without a higher power, you can continue a peaceful life and focus only on what you enjoy doing.
