11 My name (1/2)
Was this the famous myth of life passing in front of your eyes in seconds? Regardless I don't miss too many things about this or that life.Each and every moment has passed, decisions have been made, consequences resulted out of them.
Stuff like regrets is something you can have when you are still alive.I don't understand the life your life to the fullest sentiment people praise it like a mantra each and every day. Our society is built on a mountain of work and responsibilities, we specialize in something because our knowledge requires acertain depth in order to perform on the level a level the society needs it. You can't switch doctors and brokers and expect it to be a good trade.
Live your life to the fullest, as long as you still fulfil your role in society. Society is the greater good, peaking high above the individuum. Humankind has to survive. We are just like ants in that regard. And just like ants, we die.
How many people will remember you? Maybe 1, or 2 of your dearest friends, 100 people because you were quite famous in your hometown.Or even more, because you were a celebrity, and now you are an entry in Wikipedia for as long as the human species exist, is that not what you could wish for?
Most people live in their own little microcosmos,they only get to know a certain amount of people, see only a little bit of the world they live in and will only be remembered by certain people for a certain amount of time and yet those people will mostly die with a grin on their face.
Is it the feeling of impending doom, that forces them to accept the grim reality and indulge in every little happiness they can feel, is it the experiences they made that they look back on with a sense of pride? Is it the illusion, that they might meet the people who passed before them? Is it the unknown that they look forward to? Reincarnation, heaven, hell, eternal nothingness. There are several ways to view the world, several approaches to what awaits us. There will be no answers, no insightful perspectives. We are just a grain of sand in this wide universe and that leaves us with the last stage of the grieving process.
Acceptance.
Live your life to the fullest, you will never know what comes afterwards. Don't waste time regretting, the current you only will have this one life it will experience. Make friends, create memories, even if it is just a single moment you will be remembered for, make it worthwhile for that moment. Live your dreams and even if you are stuck inside a world you hate, remember its a world you know. The worst enemy is the one you do not know of.

I laughed at my own silliness, look at me the great philosophical genius, spouting sophisticated crap when I am about to disappear.No matter how you view life, life is just something that is and that is not at the same time.There is no general truth, each and every single individuum creates its own path and makes its own experiences.
Fuck fate, fuck destiny, fuck the unavoidable.I am here at the moment and that is enough.
