About time having no beginning and no end? I imagine religious people tend to think the concept will be clear to them in the afterlife, but I stay awake at night thinking about this stuff. And I don't think I'll EVER know! 😞

Some things, I have learned, are not good to think about. This is one of them for me.
So, no. I can't. |

It's probably not good for me to think about either. But I don't let that stop me, unfortunately.

Now and again. It's awesome. Quite interesting. Just perplexing.

Sometimes I look in the sky and try and imagine infinite. My conclusion is that my brain cannot fathom an infinite universe. I always seem to picture a wall being there and that is the end. A physical wall that you could knock on.

I often think about how vast space is and that it's constantly expanding.

Thoughts like these don't help with my depression, even though it is reality. It makes me feel absolutely worthless in the grand scheme of life.

I'm comfortable with what's mysterious about the shape and form of all time and life existence, that it can't be fully known or understood; but I also enjoy exploring its possibilities, mostly through theories of physics be they proven or unproven.
The fact that we couldn't see a fourth dimension, for instance (just as beings that are 2 dimensional have no way of visualizing the 3rd dimension in which we live), relieves me of any undue angst that would be involved in trying to pin down what it's really like. I don't think we're made to understand it; but also don't feel exempted from embracing its wonder. ![]()

Thinking about being alive, how animals are amazing. How did it happen. Really scary and anxiety provoking.
I was into religion until about 30. God doesn't make sense to me anymore. I'm thinking having a solid belief would help. Better yet, I need to get busy and not think about it. My depression keeps me unmotivated and anxiety has caused me to isolate badly. Good Luck |

With life comes death. It's just the last cycle to living. I'm now comfortable with growing old and experiencing all the joys of life. I'm thankful to have even had the opportunity to be born. I like the idea of reincarnation.

oh boy lol. I think nothing. Just a solid wall that looks like a mirror. Or I picture a massive black hole or dark matter.
