If you keep reflecting your exsitence, and find it's quite meaningless since someday, you will have to return to void after all, then why bother doing anything now?
Because it can be one heck of a ride anyway even if it's ultimately a ride to oblivion?
Cool post anyway btw. I enjoy reading your interesting views...
I don't think I embrace any particular philosophy. I just take what I find important interesting to me and I do a lot of thinking about it. And thinking about thinking
.I care about empathy, love and the truth. Both truth that requires evidence for reality and also 'other kinds' of truth. Like being 'true to yourself and others' etc.
I like asking questions even if there's nothing practical about it. I care about impractical things as well as practical. Because I often find things just interesting and that makes it worth it just for the sake of it. I find the truth to be interesting (sometimes more interesting than others but always interesting) even when there's no practical use in it and it's just another 'insignificant fact' that 'nobody really cares about'.
