I'm open to the possibility of anything.
But, okay, it mightn't be sort of a God as we kind of see God, but something happened at some point.
And then what was before that?
And what was before that?
And was it an entity?
Like, we always worshipped something or somebody.
There was the sun or whatever.
Like, long before, you know, even prehistoric times, they had, you know, on the kind of caves that you could see what they were, you know,
looking towards we we love to be led and we love to kind of look towards somebody or something else and i that again if you don't have that you are struggling in terms of the big questions it's it's very strange you know but i tell you funerals i don't i don't i suppose i i don't go to mass and all that but when i do go to a funeral i
I find it nice in the sense of that feeling of warmth towards a life lived.
I wish the person was there to feel it or see it.
But the funeral, I don't mind.
I think funerals are a nice idea.
And again, it's probably going back to the community thing.
But dad, my dad.
he had this idea so he fell out of religion as well now he would have been catholic so i was raised catholic and and uh but dad then decided no that's no good or whatever again he would have put a lot of thought into stuff not an academic man but a very kind of took an interest in a lot of stuff so he decided a long time ago that he was going to donate his body to the royal college of surgeons for surgeons to study or from student surgeons to kind of use as a tool
and so that happened and they have dad for two years and that's coming up now he's going to be sent on May the 15th he's coming back to be cremated and there's going to be nobody there because now he didn't care and mam was furious at the time I remember because
She wanted a funeral and kind of closure and inverted commas and stuff.
But dad said, no, no, no, look, this will be much more useful, much more practical, and it'll be helpful to future people.
