If there is something out there that will give us some shape to our lives, it does not lie in heavens, or hells, or fates or destinies. It waits out there for us to make sense of it and to fit the shape of our lives around the facts of it. There is no special meaning other than what we create for ourselves and what matters to us. All that is divine is a human creation, all that is evil is a human creation; our minds can shape a world of demons if we allow them to. That does not mean that the demons are out there, salivating in the darker shadows waiting to leap out on us.
The good too is a human invention. The world beyond the human has no knowledge of good, or evil, it has only what is necessary. There is no higher being out there that embodies the good. The good was made by us, for us. We are the good, it is within us and is seen through our own eyes, not some stern bearded father look down, waiting to punish or reward.
We must walk through this world on our own and take the responsibility for it, for all we do, for all we see. We must not expect some being that exist only in our fantasies to solve the world for us.
