I’M BEAUTIFUL

Most of the time when someone ask me how I’m doing, I reply, “I’M BEAUTIFUL!”. It’s nice to invoke a pleasant reaction from someone. It makes people smile.

I say “I’M BEAUTIFUL!” instead of “I’M DOING BEAUTIFULLY!” because the reactions are funnier. And it’s easier to blurt out.

I’ve been doing that for about 8 years now and “I’M BEAUTIFUL” represents how I feel on the inside.

I’m quite happy, with my wife and girls, with my job, with my things, but I definitely strive for more.

    Hi Rob,

    How are you? :)

    I just found your site, I am rather new aethist too. I was agnostic for years, until one day a catholic girlfriend of mine gave me a book from richard dawkins called the god deillusion told me to read this crap, and i would become christian.

    Well.. didn’t have the desire effect. I was aethist after a week of reading the book. Funny how that worked out!

    Anyways, I was reading your acticle on I AM BEAUTIFUL. I went “WOW, I AM GOING TO STEAL THIS FROM HIM.” It is awesome! I love what it does internally. I do have spirituality, I am exploring something called the power of now from eckhart tolle. It may sound weird, but it is possible to be aethist and spiritual. I think. I really have not got a chance to talk to other aethists, and like minded people about it.

    Thanks for the new phrase.

    That’s great. Maybe your old girlfriend should have read the book first. I’m glad you found something useful in my writing.

    I don’t have spirituality, but I think I know what atheist people mean when they say that. They mean a connection with their surroundings, a possible moment in time when you see something so beautiful and the sun is shining on your face and you feel a kind of peacefulness. I think I get that, I just don’t call it spirituality. I notice those moments the most when the sun is shining on my face, there’s a small breeze and the only thing I hear is nature.
