"...but i don't agree that death pushes us to anything, as a nihilist i see death as making life meaningless in the first place.
In the grand scheme of the Universe, yep, totally meaningless. Not even a blink in the eye of time.
However, because of that I think there's even more reason to get on and enjoy it.
Pointless doing anything else?"
actually, and maybe i contradict myself here but i do that a lot and often believe contradictory things can occur together, but in the grand scheme of things we could be so much so more than we are. but this is based on what i think is imprtant and meaningful, and this might not apply to anyone/everyone else.
i have no doubt many people contribute in many ways that are not meaningless, as well as in ways that are very meaningful. but overall, we are not very important, we have no defined purpose, we don't fully understand anything despite knowing so much and gaining knowledge all the time. but, one day we won't exist, and even if we did contribute to something that created a better humanity there are no guarantees it would continue forever, people change, everything changes, and if we never existed the world would not notice...and even if they did, should they really care?
nobody is that special, overall, that they contributed anything of substance to humanity, this planet, or indeed the universe.
given the right circumstances (which not everyone is) anyone can be anything. |
