Trascending through time

[Macoleco]

After becoming an atheist, time has become one fo the most important topics in my mind. The reason, it is an unstoppable force. Dear people get old die, you get old, and have to suffer diseases and die. Basically everything that happens is because time is constantly flowing. 

I think that nobody, at least those who truly dream, ever see their dreams become real. We all die before it happens. The only thing we can do is leave a legacy, so that the future generations can continue our work, and at least they will enjoy what we could not.

So I realized, that even if we cant overcome time as individuals, we can as a collective. Our dreams and hopes will come true through the future generations, and the legacy we leave them. And this is all thanks to the fact that we humans can think and feel. Truly beautiful if you think about it. Somehow, our spirits, our minds, live in the passion of the future generations.

I think that as long as one lives for the future, one can find strenght against adversity. The future generations do not care if you were happy or not, if you married the person you loved or not, if you died of cancer or not. They only care about the legacy you leave behind. Perhaps I will not see my dreams come true, but I know that someone will enjoy as much as I would, and perhaps even more. I work and live for the me of the future.

As Newton said: if I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

The End of religion has come?
No, not really. All it takes for a new religion to form is a bunch of mugs and one conman. Joseph Smith?

What?

[GrandizerII]

What?

I said something earlier about time then edited it out just because it seemed it wasnt needed to be said here. Dont worry about it.

I have a solution for you. Dream smaller.

I'd say, "Do less drugs," but. . . something about that statement doesn't sit right with me.

The best times of my life so far, have been brief moments of crystallized happiness

And it's okay if most of like is shitty or "meh" if those crystallized moments are awesome enough.

True, few of us get to fulfil our dreams . . . but don't forget those moments that turn out to better than what or who we had ever initally dreamed of
