Insignificant You

Update Note: After re-reading this, I find it a little pointless and boring

..Let me ask you a question my little worshipers, if you ceased to exist as soon as you glance at the end of this message, would the world you left be any different whatsoever? I had this delightful little conversation with two of my friend today.

My answer: No.
Her Answer: Yes.
His Answer: y...err, No

It always amazes me on how people convince themselves they have self-worth. That their existence is only justified by claiming they changed the world somehow, that they rather have a reason to exist rather then just enjoying existence.

Her excuse for changing the world was that she once talked down a friend from killing themselves. Although my opinion is that perhaps the world would be better off without them, we’ll pretend it’s otherwise. So she says a life was saved by “being there” Well, almost all of us have at least someone we’d pour our hearts out too when we get low enough.

If she never truly existed, someone else would have popped into that happy little slot. You have to remember most people saying they are going to kill themselves, wouldn’t really do it. (That pesky “cry for help” thingy) And knowing this person, even if I gave them a knife they’d cry at people for a few weeks before doing anything. Unless someone to totally suicidal, (meaning they don’t want to live, and if you saved them from drowning, they’d punch you in the nose) there will always be one person they “tell” (*sighs* over and over) before they do it.

..And that’s the thing, pretty much anything you’ve done, would of be done by someone else if you weren’t there. Even if it hadn’t, would anyone life be dramatically different? I believe all my actions are meaningless if I tried to weight them on a scale of importance.

I must remember that most of us are oh so very young, If I was, lets say, about 45, my answer might be different. But as of now, I can’t see anyone’s life being worse or better without my existence. (Well, some people out there would be less amused) Yet, there are people out there who can’t even deal with the fact that they are meaningless to most of the world. This confuses me, why must they pretend they following a fate that will lead them to glory; it only leads to disappointment for some people.

So my question once again, have you *truly* done something you think would have make a real difference in this funny little world we live in?

Why not just live you life, and stop trying to be important. Life is fun, play.
