If it's pointless and forgettable, why not do it anyways?

I said we should all kill ourselves - I guess I was wrong, you're right that it doesn't really matter if we do that or don't. When I think about it, most people would find not killing themselves more convenient simply because they're unsure of what happens in death. Not me, tho |
Should? Why should? Because we are mortal and life is pointless? That's not a good enough reason. We are failed because we aren't all powerful and immortal? We failed in what? Where's the scoreboard, where are the points?
We can't fail in something that is pointless. It doesn't matter either way, so failure and success are pointless too, they are just words.
BW: You've only got half way there. You've given up on all the good in the world because "it's pointless", but you hang on to the negative. Everything that is bad in the world is pointless too. The fact that you are going to die eventually and everything you do here will be forgotten is pointless too. The fact that people are weak and don't live up to their potential is pointless too. the fact that life is harsh and unfair and difficult is pointless too.
The only point that life has is that it's blank. There's no deeper meaning, no significance. It's your canvas to paint onto it whatever you will. It's your medium of expression, your vehicle for self actualisation. It's not some servant here to do your bidding. Get over yourself, you are so significant in everything you do.
Give it all up, release everything. Get rid of the despair, the weight, the negativity. It's all pointless. there's freedom, lightness and peace knowing that all of thise that's going really doesn't matter in the long run. If it doesn't matter, then everything that's going on right now isn't important. It's not significant, and you can just let it be without having to change it.
As an aside: I
know what happens after death. That's why I don't kill myself. It's not because I'm scared of death, it's purely because it's not time yet. I haven't learnt everything here that I need to, and I don't think I will in this life time.
