For some reason, I always feel somewhat comforted by the idea of life on Earth being easily extinguished. It must be because it puts normal life problems into perspective. It makes me realise that none of it really matters in the grand scheme of things. I'm already pretty sure that there's no invisible man in the sky looking out for us. But when I look at videos like this, it makes me realise that there can be no lasting legacy, so we need to make the best of the present moment and the relative short-term future.
Damn dude, you're deep. I've always felt sort of depressed upon realizing that Im mortal and some day I wont exist.
I know what you mean. I feel like that too sometimes. But what I'm talking about is expanding that out to realising that one day NONE of this will exist. So even if your body somehow magically had the ability to live "forever", you won't be able to because the planet will get destroyed eventually. So really you don't have to worry about what people think of you or whether you really make the most of your life. I'm not sure how well I'm explaining this though :-)
But also, once you no longer exist, you won't know you don't exist. You didn't know you weren't born before you were born. Heck, even once you WERE born you didn't know you were born for the first couple of years. In the end you've lost nothing. Just give life a shot and do what you can.
I like the thought that we can't take any of this with us. There's no use being the richest person in the graveyard. I find that comforting, and also a good concept to get perspective on life's priorities. We all begin and end the same way. All paths eventually reach the same destination. Just don't forget to admire the scenery along the way.
That was strangely uplifting, have an upvote ;)
Perhaps I should start charging money? :-D
