my worst fear.
everything in existance is made up of atoms, the only difference between every single "thing" is their arrangement and how far apart the atoms are from one another. but that would in turn infer that there is space between every single one, space that is complrised of the same infinity of atoms in which they separate.
we waste our time in years of science classes being taught what other people (similar "beings" whose comprehension capabilities are no greater than any other of our own - within our species) have "learned" in the same fasion. when in all reality no matter what we think we see under a microscope or through a telescope, all we can judge these theories on are our senses as homo sapiens. however there could never possibly be a solution or any real proof to anything - ever, because these senses are strictly linked to our perspective and its impossible at ANY stage of evolution to comprehend anything outside of one's perspective wheather you're a person, an animal, a solid, a liquid, a gas. and while we might have "proven" that plants dont feel pain, or that an inchworm doesn't think = its only because we relate these situations to our own senses and perspective and we have no other reference to compare to.
for instance we bathe to stay clean and fight off potentially harmful bacteria, we use the products of evolution to invent and intudstrialize in order to better specifically OUR species - or what we greedily ASSUME is better because money is the new Quincy; everybody wants some.
i've decided that i'm leaning more to the right side on this. if a tree falls in the woods and no one's around to hear it does it still make a sound? fuck yes it does and whoever the fuck thought it didn't was a complete idiot. and because it does, time HAS to be linear - everything only happened because something else happened before it. i am currently alive and at some point in time i will die. my estimation is that i will no longer have ever known i was "alive" - i will no longer "know" anything at all outside of my perspective from that point on. memory is only linked to the shell we are confined in and operate through in life as we know it.
this is all a product of my fear of death.
my question is:
does anyone know why i should give a fuck about anything?
