SOLIPSISM









We see the things that we would see
And know what we would know
Our thoughts are always prejudiced
To the way we want to go


It has been said that humans are heard animals. But I believe hives are a more accurate depiction: geographic hives, racial hives, religious hives; and we readily devour animals that don’t belong to our hive. 


Each hive has a king or a queen and drones that serve it; the rest of us are workers and spend our lives unknowingly sustaining the hive. 


We think we are important because we support the hive, and if we are diligent, we will thrive for a while, and then we are gone.


In fact, we are no more than an accidental, insignificant life form, existing on a minor planet in a minor solar system of a minor star, in one of hundreds-of-billions of galaxies in an unfathomable universe.


The universe doesn’t care if we live.  The universe doesn’t care if we die; it doesn’t care if we hurt, have sex or go to the movies…


The nature of the universe is expansion, ever since the Big Bang.  There is no reason, there is no why.


There are Christian hives that like to ask, what kicked off the Big Bang?  But we know it wasn’t a God, because man hadn’t invented him.


THE UNIVERSE DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK

  1. There is actually a book that tackles something similar to what you have mentioned. It's amazing that people act like they are so important but haven't a clue.

  2. I agree the universe does not care. But, it is easier to live when you have people who do care. That is still important to remember, even if the number of people who care for a person may be small. It gives us reason to carry on.

  3. "...humans are heard animals..."
    Yes, indeed. My hearing is still pretty on par for someone of 65.
    Anyone speaks or something makes a sound----I can hear them just fine.
    And good thing, too, as I tend to live a lot of my current existence wearing headphones listening to my audio discs.

COMMENT: Ben Franklin said, "I imagine a man must have a good deal of vanity who believes, and a good deal of boldness who affirms, that all doctrines he holds are true, and all he rejects are false."
