I think many people feel that they live this life and then they're done. They think that belief in the afterlife is a myth. I've always said it makes no sense to have an almost endless universe if our short time on Earth is all there is. Wisdom comes too late for some if it comes at all. Life is a test and I want to pass.
It seems that many of our ideas and motives have been dulled by our daily earthly existence and routines. Many of us no longer recognize what it means to live, beyond heading to work everyday and buying things. When put in the context of an eternal recurrence, then our future selves would admonish us for condemning them to such pointless existences. If our lives truly are one-and-done, then that is all the more reason to live every moment as it could be our last. Thank you for your message and I will follow you.
Thanks, and I hope to see you posting on occasion :)
