i've had lots and lots of time to think.
this 'post' will be a reflection of what every single persons' purpose is in this world is. after many, many days of thought i have concluded that we mean.... nothing....yet everything.
allow me to explain:
in scientific and mathematical reasoning, you are just a fraction, a tiny decimal, practically nothing compared to everything in the universe. our earth is smaller than the period at the end of this sentence compared to everything in the universe we have been able to observe. oh and not to mention i am referring the observable universe ( the part of the universe we have seen so far). remember that embarrassing moment when you messed up a presentation in class, or that time you tripped and fell face-forward during p.e., that means nothing. everything continues. no one will remember after a while, it will be in that dark corner in your head, the earth will not stop spinning nor will the sun stop producing nuclear reactions. everything you have done, and will ever do, means nothing.
I'm aware the last statements might have been a bit depressing, but it's truth.
now on the other hand, in philosophical reasoning, you are everything. every little embarrassing, aggravating, depressing moment is with you forever, in that little dark corner of your brain. our minds have this reasoning that is inevitable which basically forces us to remember more unpleasant memories than any other memories. you most likely remember the day you were first bullied. that one little boy or girl, how they looked, every single word they said, everything about that day and how much you hated it. but you most likely don't remember your first birthday. that happy day when you celebrated you first full year of living, you probably cant remember every guest that attended, or the color of you parents shirt that day. in this aspect, YOU mean everything in your life. that is not a bad thing, it's YOUR life, you deserve to care about it. but then again, no one else really cares as much as you do, not even your parents. you are everything, for now, and one day your everything will end and someone else will begin, it's just how things go, its inevitable.
."There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. " - The Fault in our Stars by John Green.
you are nothing, yet, you are everything. you must decide which you choose to be in this world.
thank you for reading and i hope this got you thinking.
