On feeling important
Since everyone is unique and special means we’re pretty much all on the same playing field. Even the big stars of this world ain’t anything more than a speck when you view the world from afar. .
It’s kinda funny how we think that we are so much more important than the rest of the things in this world and pollute away, when in fact we are the greatest weed the world has seen. It’s in how we separate ourselves from nature and see ourselves as separate from it when in fact we are part of it.
I think its all about laughing at yourself and enjoying what you are and those around you and trying to lead a responsible life.
It’s the paradox that once you find out you’re not all that special you can become even happier than before (not that I would teach that idea to a child as they need to believe that they are oh so special).
Or like the man Socrates, the more I know the more I realize that I don’t know anything… I don’t think he saying he literally knows nothing but that he really is just a speck, and that he can gain true satisfaction out of life by trying to be good to his friends and finding his own truth piece by piece.
I mean look at what the church I belong to teaches, we’re to become gods ourselves when we die if we do what we’re taught (all surely sucking honey combs in heaven)… scared of death and being small in this life we need to believe we can become important by creating worlds and such. Now I hope something about the after life is true but I do see why the idea of an after life is so popular in every culture.
I think everyone needs hope, the less fortunate more than we do as we are living the good life. It’s just that I’m fine with giving life all I got morally and proactively living; not worrying about dying and becoming more important than those around me or pretending I have much more of an idea of what life’s all about all the time. Except I’m still trying to find the courage to actually do what I believe…
Well thats me trying to make sense of my thoughts, prolly makes little sense haha.
