You Are Insignificant...

[Deleted]

Your existence is insignificant. You are a here for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of time. You are highly insignificant in the world, and the world is insignificant in the galaxy, and the galaxy is insignificant in the universe. The Earth is tiny and is only here for a fraction of time, a blink of an eye in the larger scheme of things. You will be completely forgotten and so will any memory of you. Nothing you ever say, do, or think will ever matter in any way, shape, or form, and neither will it last in any way.

You are completely and totally insignificant.

Yes. I know. And?

[Jamber]

cool story bro.

No really, that's all I can think to say to you. You aren't blowing any minds. I'm glad you thought it was worth it to post about it. At least I know you have some sore of free will or something.

I've seldom seen such an incredibly unnecessary post. 100% atheist propaganda, too.

It's called nihilism. Just because it questions the importance of "creation" or shows its lack of value, that doesn't make it an atheist propaganda. Your reaction shows that you're aware of this fact yourself, but you hate it.

Why is it mostly stupid people that disagree with the fact that OP presented? Unnecessary and pointless, but true nonetheless. It's almost as you are afraid of it, but the question is: why ? Does it damage your self-esteem ?

I think it's funny to read some of the reactions around here such as "you're emo, go cut yourself", "you need a hug". Perhaps your tiny little mind is too small to have the proper reaction towards the idea of nihilism, or you are unable to self-reflect. It's not disappointment or desolation. It's helping you get over hard times, and can be used as a tool to make any egomaniac get angry at his own delusions. I think that nihilism is pretty funny.

actually we're not insignificant. each one of us can change the universe.

The universe is insignificant itself. What we can change is insignificant, and it will still be insignificant after we change it. Imagine the universe suddenly disappearing. What then? So what? Can you answer these questions?

You can't answer that question. The answer to that question is nothing would exist, so there would be no answer that exists. You are totally free to embrace nihilism, but telling people they are stupid because they "don't have the peoper reaction" is childish.

People can agree or disagree with it by using their own views that don't involve insults and snide comments, as any used just weaken the worth of your words for those who won't try and shout down your point of view with personal attacks. If that is what you use then that is who you end up arguing with.

Significance is a personal view, just like time or other concepts that we've created. Just as how you can't have a ying without a yang, you can't have something that doesn't perceive significance also perceiving insignificance.

The key is finding someone you are significant to.

No, the key is making life significant yourself. Not that it wouldn't be significant enough already.

100% atheist propaganda, too.

Sorry, but WTH?

[Taurenburger]

Indeed the universe and even earth can move on without "you", however that doesn't make us totally insignificant as there are people that love us and people we love. On that scale, we are far from insignificant. It's just how you look at things and I prefer to look at things that matter to me.

[Kaleredar]

Unnecessary and pointless, but true nonetheless.

Did you know that there was a fish back in the late Devonian era called a dunkleosteus; it was larger than a killer whale and had scythe-shaped teeth made out of solid bone embedded in its armor-plated skull.

That fact was both unnecessary and pointless, but true nonetheless. Should I start a thread about it?

You could ultimately attempt to rationalize anything by saying "in the end it doesn't really matter."

Nihilism is the definition of self defeating... you can only "embrace it" so to speak by ultimately deciding that the concept of Nihilism doesn't matter.

I, as I'd dare to say many other of us posters too, have gone through existentialist angst already and are quite content with the thought of mankind's insignificance when related to the universe. We don't really need that modernist "God-Justificator", if you will.

No, it isn't. Maybe it is for you, since you are projecting. You are unable to see the world from multiple points of view, only from yours. Some people would rather live a life based on reality. Why please forgive me for questioning things that don't make any sense.

No. Why are you asking me this? Ask the OP.

Because the way you should treat that type of annoying attitude is through further serious answers, right? Bringing attention to the fact that someone's replies are childish isn't childish. No, these type of people deserve to be told to get fucked, because that's where their minds limit. You cannot possibly treat these types of answers with seriousness because they're incompatible.

An answer like "looks like someone is an EMO", only proves that you gave no thought to the issue, and therefore you shouldn't be surprised when someone calls you out on your stupidity.

You're the one here claiming everyone's "projecting" and in reality hating themselves. Just because people are ok with themselves doesn't mean they're denying the fact that we're not a big deal in the universe.

You can ignore them. If you respond to them then you are engaging them in the discussion, and when you start to insult them back you just end up looking like one of them.

17 pages, why do you post an insignificant thread if you care so much about it?

[NotValidAnymore]

We may be insignificant. But we are not alone.

Together we are something more significant than anyone can imagine.

[nameuser]

Nothing really matters. Even if you could live forever or change the world. The universe remains the same. It's about finding a meaning to your own life. You have to decide what matters.

[The Troll Rogue]

You are completely and totally insignificant.

Just the kind of thing I needed to read to really give me that pick-me-up after all the other shit that's gone wrong today. I'll just go kill myself now if you'll all excuse me.

[Hiricine]

I'm going to rip into another dimension, create a machine that creates energy and matter, and become god of this universe for the rest of its existence. Then I'll erase your existence and then we'll see whos insignificant.

[LiiLoSNK]

Good to know, OP.

I'm far too selfish to consider the impact I have on the people around me, much less the people/beings on this plain of existence. My life span is the only one that really matters to me. That being said, it must mean that everyone else in the universe is insignificant until I can use them. Then they return to being insignificant.

[saberon]

I'm about as significant as I can be to me.

Check and Mate.

[Letmesleep]

Eh, it depends on your definition of alone. Try becoming a paraplegic and then see how many people will help you end your life. We're all a lot more alone than we'd like to admit and very few people in the world will sacrifice their own happiness or freedom for someone else. Just because people are around you doesn't mean you aren't actually alone.

[LiiLoSNK]

Try becoming a paraplegic and then see how many people will help you end your life.

I think I would help.
