Now For Something a Little Different...

Forgive me for what I'm about to write.

I can only say that thinking deeply about reality (like really fucking deep) is something you should do more often. Yes, you.

Instead of avoiding being that weird person who "thinks too much", I say think deeply. Look between the layers of life. Look at the deep complexity of every issue. Observe how you react to different situations. Breath deep and do something you are entirely scared of. All the while look at the world through fresh eyes. Drop the image of yourself which needs to convince itself that it knows everything.

More than anything don't worry about other people.

Do you realize that most of your decisions are based on what other people think of you? It's why you don't do a lot of things you want to do. It's why you are going to die someday and wish you had done a whole lot more. It's the truth.

If you think about it, reality and your perception of it are completely clouded by the fact that you are a human being. When the universe was created, it is quite possible that it was an accident. It's entirely possible that the creation of the this universe we exist in has no purpose.

We aren't here to conquer the universe. We aren't here to love or to have children or anything. It is simply to exist.

It's simply to live. To be here. Can you handle that possibility?

Or are you going to run from it?

Turn on the TV because it will tickle the neurons in your brain. It will take care of you. It will tell you what to think. It is secure. It doesn't test your limits. It is a passive activity. It makes time pass by easier.

And your existence is whittled down to one life event to another, with some filler time between them.

You're existence is just a compilation or experiences that are completely insignificant. If society tells you that you have lived a extraordinary life, you can then feel validation.

The problem is that you'll never be significant. Because trying to be significant is impossible.

The universe we live in could be insignificant. It could be an atom in a molecule in a different universe. So trying to be significant is only a judgment value that in the end doesn't matter.

Have you followed what I'm saying so far? Chances are you have. You just don't trust yourself to believe what is inherently true about what I'm saying. Or you are trying to calculate whether this is something you are comfortable thinking about.

"I don't have thoughts like this" might be something that your brain (which tends to generate repetitive thought loops that it replays day after day) registers as thought.

But the fact is that we don't know anything. How you do know anything for sure?

I certainly can't confirm anything 100%, even when most things seem so certain. It's what being human is all about.

I want to push you to think more. I'm pushing myself to think more. Let's both agree to think more.

And when you think deeply, go and enjoy life. Because it's too short. Thinking deeply and living in the moment is truly the beautiful part about human experience.
