YOU HAVE AN ACTIVE MIND AND A KEEN IMAGINATION.

Gone Forever

There are many questions that humanity asks. Why are we here? Who or what created us? Are there others outside our universe? Why do we do what we do? Is there any significance to our lives? In the biological perspective, we live to reproduce and to just live. Just live. How perplexing? Why? There may not be an answer to the "why." We might have just been a mistake of years and years of evolution. Or maybe we have a purpose that we'll never know. Unanswered questions. It feels that we need to search for a purpose. In the universe's perspective, we are a speck in the middle of nowhere. We aren't important. Planets die all the time. Isn't our planet ready to go? All these things we have created here. Here, we plant the trees, manage the rivers and lakes, oversee the fields, cities and homes; regulate countries, skies, and waste, make relations, love, food, crafts, etc. Everything created to be lost like a swipe of some dust, a flick of a lint...gone like the last drop of rain or the breath on a cold day. Gone forever. How insignificant we are.

We have culture, creativity...we are remarkable, fascinating organisms. In our eyes, we love who we are, we love all we've made, we believe we are all that matters. But how insignificant we really are. It's sad. Our emotions are completely controlled by our brains, neurons, hormones, etc. They make us feel what to feel, do what we need to do. Solely for the purpose of survival and reproduction.

We create our own mindset. We create our own purposes to make us believe we have a purpose...only to keep from growing depressed and ending our lives. Ha! We are controlled. Is our conscious our own? It's all a mystery. All we can do is make the most out of our lives, live selfishly, take advantage of what we have, cherish every moment until the end. Whose perspective really matters? What does matter? What matters is only what you perceive matters. Truth is only what we say is true. Everything we want to believe is right, everything we do is done and that's it. It's gone in a second and the only thing that stays is our memory. Then, that will be gone. Then all we have left is history. Then that will be gone when our planet is gone.

Everything will perish. What is the future in that? All we can do is live. Live, Laugh, and Love.
Go and live, that's all you've got.
