"You only live once!"
"Why not!?"
"Might as well!"
"Why should I care, I'm not gonna be here then!"
"What difference does it make!? I won't be here!"
"Why should I sacrifice my life, nobody sacrificed for me!"
"Look at the mess they left for us! Why should I give a shit!? Nobody else does!"
"I'm gonna enjoy my life! I can sleep when I'm dead!"
"Why worry about eating healthy and exercise!!? We're all gonna die anyway!"
"Why should I care? What's in it for me?"
These are all valid questions and statements...!
You are going to die. So what are you trying so hard for??
Why would anyone work so hard to make the world a better place knowing that they're doing "all the work" and that they will never see the fruits...?
World peace..... What the fuck does that look like!? Everybody talks about it but nobody actually has an idea of what it would feel like on a daily basis. What the hell would you do with your life then?!
Why should I care...? The next generation is just gonna fuck it all up again...!
Humans are hopeless. History repeats itself. Just accept it! Things are never gonna change. It's a dog-eat-dog world. It's our nature.
Do you have an argument?
If I have only one life.... Why would I spend it cleaning other people's messes?
If I have only one life . . . . .
Only one life . . .
One.
No more. One shot.
Just ONE. And then....... ? ? ?
"Do it for your children and grandchildren!" For future generations, so that "one day" the world will be like it's supposed to be.
WOW.
Did you hear that??
Is that what we're all aiming for??
WHY are we all doing this!?!?!?!?
Is it so that the world will be . . . at peace? Safe? So that we'll all be equally wealthy? So that there's no more disease? No more murder? No more addiction? What!? Why!??
If we each have only one life . . .
And "this" is it . . .
Look around at the world..... The whole world, not just "your" world....
Is a happy world possible???
Why would I be interested in anything that has no lasting value..... ?
Religion tells us that Heaven awaits those who do good... Nirvana... Utopia... The Elysian Fields.... Rewards and mansions and riches..... (virgins....!)(??)
Is that why we do this??
Is that why YOU do this???
So many struggle just to stay alive..... Why do they do that? Do they wake up every morning hoping that "some day" things will be better?
If we are not eternal then why would we ever play this hellish game . . .
I feel the pain of the world. It's my job. There may be no pain in your world. Therefore you don't see your brothers and sisters that suffer. You know they are there, but you can't change their reality so you "just let it go" . . .
"Focus on the positive, not the negative!"
Focusing on the positive does not mean being unaware of the negative. It means being very aware of the negative and feeling its pain and turning it to good inside of you.
"Focus on the positive" is NOT a loophole in the universe!!! It is not a way out of your responsibility for humanity.
If you're just gonna die.... and take nothing with you.... and you are not eternal....
Then why bother?
But if I am eternal..... If I do have greater meaning than just "being good" while I'm here to make the world a better place for the next generation in hopes that one day the world will be "right".....
If I do get to reap the benefits of my existence personally and consciously..... Then....
THEN I can give a shit about what's going on around me.
Otherwise, why should I care about anyone else's suffering? They'll die soon and then it'll all be over! No more suffering!
Family.
Eternity.
One.
