But you can also believe that if you make it a point to be a person who takes opportunities to do good things as much as you can, you'll be rewarded for it in some form, at some point. For people that believe in an afterlife, they may have the intention of doing good things in their life, because helping people is a way to be rewarded for it later on.

Also, "empathy".
You should probably learn what "advice" and "peptalk" actually mean.
Telling them to feel less awful... by calling them awful things. Got it.
There's a clear difference between cognitive dissonance and openly acknowledging your conflicted feelings about something.

GO!
Yes. My reflexes are too fast.
That doesn't explain why they went forward even after seeing the barrier pointing at their face through the window.
This joke didn't go over my head.
That was a wild ride...
It looks like the platform is connected to a lever that lifts the gate.
