#existential hope

You feeling hopeless? You overcome by the fact that joy is fleeting?

What if I told you that pain and grief are just as prone to change as joy?

What if I told you that your judgement is flawed, as all things human are, so there’s no way for you to know for sure that it’s hopeless?

Some things get better and some things get worse, but things do get better

Nothing lasts forever and that includes your current pain. Even with chronic pain or health issues, the way they affect you will be different tomorrow

So keep living! Your time here is fleeting, so make what you can of it while you’re still here! Even if it is hopeless, don’t you want to know that you at least tried? That you cared? That you did your best and made it so much farther than you thought you would?

There’s hope to be found in this empty feeling. You’re a small part of this universe but still part of it nonetheless, and your presence makes every room you enter just that much less lonely.

It doesn’t matter if reality is all just a simulation because this is still our reality. Our actions hold weight in our world, and that’s why the things you do matter

When you die your actions in life will shape what comes after you. In death you become part of the foundation upon which the future is built. You could be the main structure, you could be a defect in the stone, you could be the mortar holding some of the bricks together, you could even be just one of the many clay particles that make up a brick, but you’re still part of it and your presence there still matters.

Work to craft a world where people don’t have to suffer the way you have. Leave a solid foundation behind so that those who come after you can build something far better than you could’ve ever hoped to. You want a greater purpose in life? Work to make a better world which can keep supporting better growth after you can no longer maintain it. Make a world where others can use your work to improve things further.
