<p>We are all going to die, we all know that well.<br /><br />
|

|

Now I want to take you to a world of immortals where humans don’t die,
|
|||
|
|
they live and live and live and… you know, live. From now on, pretend I’m a human
|
|||
|
|
on this world of immortals, I’m immortal bitches.</p>

<hr />
|

|
|
|

|
|
<p>In this world, there is no excitement in jumping from a cliff or doing flips over walls
|
|||
|
|
or pretending to be a bird or even loving each other, in general, there is no
|
|||
|
|
excitement in any experience, because there is nothing to miss if I don’t do that right now,
|
|||
|
|
I will always have another chance to do that again, even if that’s going to be a thousand years from now,
|
|||
|
|
because you know, we’re all good at waiting here.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>There is no technology and no fast transportation system here,
|
|||
|
|
because, hell, who gives a fuck about fast transportation systems.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Who gives a shit about tools to harvest more food, or something you can write with,
|
|||
|
|
you can know about our meaningless past as much as you want, there are always people to tell you about that.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Who cares if 2 + 2 = 4 or 5, I’m not going to die if the non-existing plane crashes because of an error,
|
|||
|
|
none of that is needed.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>We have an infinite amount of time to explore the globe, but we don’t,
|
|||
|
|
because there is no fun in doing that, how is that, you might ask. Someone from your world told me
|
|||
|
|
I should explain it this way:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Simple mathematics we know says, in an infinite timespan, no other timespan is significant, basically,
|
|||
|
|
any number divided by infinity yields zero. Your neighbour could tell you about how he spent a thousand years
|
|||
|
|
exploring Earth, eating bugs and trying different methods to kill himself, and you could tell him
|
|||
|
|
he literally spent 0% of his life doing all that, same as you, who just stood there.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p><img src="/img/division-by-infinity.jpg" alt="any fucking number / infinity = 0" /></p>
|
|||
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Now I don’t understand much of that, but I had enough time, and nothing else to do, to repeat this to myself
|
|||
|
|
since he told me that until now.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Here, in this world, we can’t suicide, if that was an option, we know well that we would go extinct
|
|||
|
|
soon after finding out the fact that we are immortals, we really don’t like this numb life.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<hr />
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p><em>Pooof</em></p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Alright I’m back. You see, we need death, we really do, without death our lives
|
|||
|
|
would be meaningless, we would have no purpose. Okay we would probably still <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxTnqKuNygE">contribute to increase of entropy of the universe</a>, but that’s not what we <em>want</em> to be here for, we want a higher purpose in life, and it’s death that gifts us this
|
|||
|
|
higher purpose.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>When I was a kid, I was told that in order to stay alive after death, you have to submit your name on this planet, and
|
|||
|
|
in this universe if possible. I know, that might sound ridiculous, but aren’t we all fighting for the same thing, but in our own
|
|||
|
|
ways? Maybe you just want to be remembered between a specific group of people (and that’s perfectly fine) or you might
|
|||
|
|
actually want to become a global role model, like Gandhi, Albert Einstein and people alike, it doesn’t matter, what matters is,
|
|||
|
|
we all want to be remembered for what we’ve done in our way to the end.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Immortals go extinct, but mortals find a mission to accomplish before the
|
|||
|
|
deadline. Be grateful for this gift of death.</p>

<!--It's not all about being famous, it's about being role model for a lot of people, there are lots of famous people and celebrities-->
|
|||
|
|
<!--that will be forgotten after a decade or two, but some people are remembered forever, either for doing very good or very bad to others,-->
|
|||
|
|
<!--I don't think Albert Einstein, Gandhi and Hitler will be forgotten in the near future (near as in thousand years).-->
|
|||
|
|
<!--They are global role models, we want to be like some of them and avoid being like others (okay, maybe not absolutely global, but you get it).-->
