My question seems boring and bleak, but I honestly want to know. I have recently (within the past year or so) accepted the fact that no matter what I do in life, it will not matter in the long run. I'm not saying that in a "no one will care if I die" way; I'm sure quite a few people will be sad. What I mean is, say 100 years from now, very few if anyone will know I existed; 1000 years from now, I doubt the great great... great grandkids of the people that may have cared will be long dead, and society will have changed enough that death has a completely different meaning anyway. So, let's get serious and consider a million years from now, a time frame that is considered small to me on the grander scale, I doubt the human species will even exist. My point is, there is no point. I have no religion, nor do I want one. I firmly believe there is no afterlife nor a god. I'm basically saying that my true outlook on life is very bleak and quite a bit depressing.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
