My thoughts after watching this amazing video about our life and purpose in this endless world from Kurzgesagt
Content
The video goes into an overview of how insignificant our existence in this world really is. There have been bilions of years that have passed before us and possibly trillions of years after our existence. Nothing we do can actually make a dent in this unimaginably vast universe.
We became self aware as humans and nothing in this world truly exists for us. But we only get one shot at our life.
Every humiliation you suffer will be forgotten, every mistake you make will not matter in the end, every bad thing you did will be voided. If the universe has no principles then the only principles that matter are the ones we decide on. Humans will most likely cease to exist. But before we do, we get to explore the world around use, experience feelings, wonders and pleasures around , heck even being able to think about it is incredible in itself. There are billions of stars to visit, diseases to cure, people to help, happy feelings to be experience and video games to finish. There is so much to do. Do the things that make you feel good. You get to decide what those things are
Thoughts
Kind of disturbing and sad and makes you realize just how little the things you do have an impact on the grand scheme of things, we always imagine going back to the past to live in a safe, comfortable and known world that we see through TV’s, movies, story books and video games. It this the anxiety if the future that trips us into thinking deeper. The vastness, emptiness and endlessness of the space is equal parts exciting and terrifying.
If nothing truly matters then is there any point in living and suffering through the numerous mundane situation, the endless 9-5 job that you took just to fit in the society. Would having stayed in home been better. I feel there are no right answers.
If in the end nothing we do actually matters, would it really make sense to suffer through what little life you have left. Do things that make you happy, helping someone without expecting something in return give an indescribably joy. Follow that dream if that is what you want to do. Stay in the same job if its comfortable. Don’t listen to the advice of traditionally successful people, becasue in the end each person has a different measure of success.
Conclusion
Have fun at whatever you are doing playing video games, pursuing a passion if that makes you feel happy, etc. But live your life. I highly recommend you watch this youtube video
There is not much here, but stay tuned a lot more to come up soon. More in about me.
