everything. . .
comes and goes. i've always said that my mission in life is to be free and to love, but i always hear a whispered doubt in the back of my head. a friend once asked me, "what purpose?" and proceeded to tell me his wild wisdom, "there are no purpose, there's just us. we are just here, nothing more, nothing less. we are born and in the end we recomposite back to nature." i have again and again, in the growing process thought the same exact thing, but i've told him time and time again that he is a nihilist, which he seems to disagree with. nevertheless, his words have always echoed some weird sense into my life when i could find no other way out. maybe us as humans, just like to make something grandiose into all that is human life so we can feel important and existent even though in the big picture, we are really nothing in comparison to the rest of the universe. we know so little, and in the average sixty six years of every human life, give or take, we think that we have learned something and moved up in the food chain of redemption and reincarnation. unless you are of the christian sort, than i might tell you that heaven is probably too crowded and so everyone is being sent to hell for the little things that we've done. but i've well thought that we haven't any evidence of knowledge, i mean, look around. aside all the technology exponentially increasing in power, all we have left with is the nature of human beings and an unsubdued desire to submit to it as an excuse for whatever it is that we are not pleased with.
philosophers and scientists alike, can't put their fingers on why we're here. they just tell us it is human nature to want to worship some deity in exchange for some resolution to the existential crisis which we somehow feel the need of want to figure out, or that they don't really know anything substantial enough to answer the question and that we are here destroying the planet with our consumptions and waste of everything in which indicates we are free to do as we wish.
i do think human life is amazing. i think it is amazing that our race has flourished, in whatever sense and meaning of that word, in our time and that we just seem to keep going. although it is not without help which enabled us to accomplish this since the earth just so happens to be in the right condition for us to even live. but that is not to suggest that soon, this won't all come to a terrible end where a hero is to burst out of the dead with his surviving skills just like hollywood keeps on telling us. how much longer though, will this last human standing really survive in the cruel nature much more powerful than him, without all those technologies and power plants and cars and whatnot? and then what? that's it, like that, we just might be gone completely. the universe will be left with most likely a dying planet, and probably contemplate how the next big bang will come about then return to watch what other creatures are doing elsewhere. the universe will probably gloat at what he's done and say, "well that was fun," and do its deed.
so i think there might just be some truth behind my friend's logic. but then again, its just another explanation to fill the day.
this post is useless anyway.
