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.
Odd thing coming from one who, by indications, believes in an eternal afterlife in the presence of the demonic sadist who condemns us to suffer in this life and spend most of it learning how to scrape its asshole clean with our tongues properly so we can spend forever doing that if we get it right, and fearing fiery torment forever if we mess up. That afterlife part sure makes this life look meaningless, don't it? Too bad so many people take that as an invitation to destroy as many others' lives and as much of the planet as possible because they look at this life like one meant just to wipe one's feet on the way to the door to eternity. If people didn't have that kind of baggage, maybe more people wouldn't have to spend this limited time in such a shitty condition. So maybe re-think belonging to a belief system that encourages that kind of worldview and attitude.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
