I've decided that, as a human being, I'm pretty much worthless. But in all reality, so is the rest of humanity. Albert Einstein was fucking useless. William Shakespeare, DaVinci, Josh Hartnett...all worthless. A human's worth is, to us, defined by how much they do to "better humanity". Okay. So? Wooo, now we have plays and paintings and movies and math laws(joy) to entertain us during our 100 or so years of doing nothing but fluffy tasks, cures for diseases that only serve to extend our overall useless existence. Human beings are born, they grow up, go to school so you can work like a dog for, if you think about it, no apparent purpose, for about 40 to 50 years, if you're lucky you'll procreate, you'll finally retire and live out the rest of your life waking up far too early just so you can go and play in your garden because you're TOO DAMN OLD to do anything else. Not that anything else would be more worthy of doing. We live, and we die. We leave absolutely no permanent mark on Earth. Even so, THAT would be pointless.
So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to disconcern myself with how I'm going to "prove myself" and "better society" and I'm going to get fucked as often as possible (preferably in a church, just so I can have the satisfaction of knowing that I have PERSONALLY pissed off God), make a lot of money however I damn well please so I can buy lots of nice little toys, dance around like a moron anywhere I want because the people that WOULD judge me are just as worthless as I am, flirt incessently with any guy I want, do stupid stunts that give me three seconds of thrill that just might kill me because it won't MATTER if I die, and just live a selfish existence of making MYSELF happy. Who gives a fuck about everyone else?
Although I suppose that's what everyone else is going to do, if they're smart. I just took 16 years, with twenty minutes of ranting to get there.
