Life is too short for far more things than just this. It always strikes me just how much time we waste on stuff we won't care about in one year or five. Myself included. Time is by far our most precious commodity.

Everything we do right now is going to be dust in the wind given enough time, including ourselves.

I think we're just trying to keep busy on this lonely planet amist all these stars.

At the end, the only thing that ever matters is the good we tried to do and the love we shared between ourselves and strangers.

    But even this doesn't matter. If all goes to dust, even the good we do or the love we share. If we do evil, or if we hate the strangers, it makes no difference. We might as well do that if it satisfies us.

      This is a philosophy, or "opinion", and should not be confused with truth. If the world was 100% evil people and beings, across all of history, forever, the present would look very different than it does now. And none of us know what the future holds.

        There are enough evil people that the present is as bad as it is.

    lovely said! I think that's the right way to see things. somewhat forces me to give up on the mark, because nobody and nothing really cares about that in a few weeks, if not even days. On the other side, among the good things that you share while you are on this planes is making sure we live in justice. And I can't stop thinking about this being injustice. I could be entirely wrong though.
