What if this all means nothing? If life really has no meaning and when we die there is nothing. All of my most precious and cherished memories are forever forgotten. The fond childhood memories, the moments I wish I could relive each day were gone. What is this for? Nothing? Life is like a house of cards. You put so much time and effort, you place each card so gently. For what? Its only temporary.
That's exactly it. Life is temporary. Everything has a beginning and everything has an end. Time is infinite, so we think. So what does happen when we die? Do we just sit in a dark room? Go to heaven and sit with angels? Roam the earth in search of a home. Who knows? I feel like I should know the answers. No one REALLY knows. Not scientists, not priests, not my Dad. Everyone kinda takes a stab in the dark really. Oh, what do I think happens when we die? We live on clouds and hang out with dead people. Maybe I'll see John Lennon or Gandhi. I'll be sure to tell them I like their work. When I was a little girl, I used to dream of dying just so I could meet John Lennon. Im talking little, little. Like four. Anyway, Im not sure what happens after we die. I hope I figure out so that I wont feel like I was cheated. Life is something to be cherished, because without it, we wouldn't know what anything was. What love feels like, what it feels like to be warm in your bed, to make love. Everything we have is a result of the one essential thing. Life. I think life has a meaning at least until we die. We have our memories, until we die. Everything is so temporary. I like permanence. Not that I don't enjoy some change, I'm talking about personal consistency. Me. I change so much that I barely recognize myself. Not physically, but my inner me. If I were to show this to myself yesterday, I would be doubtful that I wrote this. But, indeed I have. Its crazy how much the little things do add up. Lets see, you buy a bottled water everyday before work. Its only a buck twenty five! Well lets multiply that by 5 and uh that by 51 (remember you have a vacation) weeks. That's $318.75 a year. BEFORE tax. But im not talking only monetary things adding up. I'm talking experiences! Look at your political views. You dont think that way because of ONE incident. Your political views are tied with your values. YOUR values. Not your Mom or Dads. Yours. You believe in what you believe in because of a series of past EXPERIENCES that have molded your thinking. Profound! Well now that also explains why people do the things they do. Why was that guy in line a complete dick to you? Because of a serios of past experience
