Life is insignificant, utterly short for anything. Time moves by pretty quickly, and we move with it: pretty quickly too.
I remember my childhood as a stream of... things? a stream locked inside a box called "the past". Your life too it pretty much that.
In other words; all the people we know from the past are probably gone. Nobody waits, or even stays by their own free will: life is more of a burden whenever we are loaded with sickness, wounds and pain.
Mere visitors we are; we get suffocated by the scents left from those who went and left; everything leaves. Depression isn't a sickness; I feel it's more of a logical conclusion if we thought carefully about our current ground and what is to come; and what had already gone.
Don't get me wrong; but everything is meant to end from the moment it is present. Only one thing is the same; never changes; never leaves.
I guess it's a sign. If one never saw it; one will meet it.
I agree life is insignificant, but what do you mean by this post?
It isn't that life is meant to end, it just does. Just like a season on earth ends, just like hurricane has a start and end. How is it you accept that a hurricane does not start or end because of the will of Poseidon?
It is not a "sign" it is a cycle. Just like when you eat it is predictable that you will shit and pee at some point. But there is no meaning behind your pee or poo, it just does.
I don't see why you as a Muslim, or a Christian or a Hindu or a Buddhist or a Jew are so desperate for "all this" to be explained with gap answers? I think you are a nice guy, just like I think CL is a nice lady. But being unimportant to the universe in cosmic time, does not mean we are not important now, short term while we are alive, we most certainly are important because right now, all humans have are each other.
We cannot stop what the planet or sun does no, we cant stop what the universe does no, but we can think as a species how to put our differences on the back burner and look to solve problems while the ride is still going to extend it.
Being finite and accepting we are finite DOES NOT have to be viewed as fatalistic or pessimistic. I am not a big fan of cliche's but facing the good and the bad as my mom put it in printing this saying out for me is a good guide, "Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened." Her death hurt me deeply, but I also know she would not want me to be depressed over her death for the rest of my life.
