I've realized something recently, but it's such a paradigm shift, it's taking a long time to sink in.
We are just accidental lifeforms on a random planet that came and will go in a tiny fraction of universe's history. Our microscopically short human lives start and end within the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile we all think our lives are full of purpose, meaning, progression. We think we have souls. Our lives feel significant and precious. We invented religion to support these ideas. Well, too bad, everyone's just going to die and turn to dust. All your memories, hopes, dreams, ambitions will be destroyed and forgotten.
I wonder if anyone in the world truly understands this? If you apply it to everything you think and do, what kind of person would you be?
