Why be discouraged?

[Reforged]

Because most people already realize they're insignificant on the micro-scale, nevermind the macro.
You don't need to tell someone whos 50 years old and working as a garbage disposal guy they mean nothing in the scheme of things.
He already knows and no, he doesn't feel inspired.

True. However, I think that he probably didn't think about that, even though he knew it, to preserve his self confidence. Not to be harsh, just saying, I think if people took more notice to this instead of ignoring it because they associate it with being discouraging they would eventually find it having the opposite effect, and giving them encouragement.


Or maybe this just applies to me. If it does, then you can consider this me explaining why I might have this view and no one else does.

Or maybe I just will go for a week at a time without posting and then all the sudden post 30 times in a time span of four hours because I feel like unloading my ideas.

I'm honestly not trying to dampen the vibe but I can say I think about it alot. I look at HD pictures and videos of space frequently, look at statistics that promote me to question things I will never know the answers to and yes. The universe is impressive. But do I find the idea that I'm just a tiny part of a near infinite universe inspiring?
No. I'm going to die. Horribly. I won't see most of it. Yes yes, maybe my distant relatives will but fuck them. I wanted to see it. When I close my eyes for the last time it will almost certainly be on earth. If I'm lucky I may have lived a life that benefited and was useful to others. In the near impossible scenario everything works out and I'm highly educated, wealthy and happy its still a fact that none of it mattered even if we were just to reference it on a earthly or national scale. The people who I helped or hindered will be dead shortly before or after I am. Yes ripples will be set in montion but so what? I'm dead at this point. I don't care. The only meaning it could possibly have that might be significant is the meaning we place upon our lives and thats entirely subjective and biased.
It is neither an encouraging or discouraging thought. It simply is. I accept it, I move on and I keep moving until I can't move anymore.
