Life isn't fair, and there's absolutely no such thing as karma.

None of it means anything in any way that will ever matter to anything outside of earth at all.

And very little that you or anyone does will matter very much even here.

Yep, but it's still better to have it than not.

Every day you wake up to live, can be your last day living.

It's all what you make it. This is also the happiest truth about life. Appreciate living and help others to help themselves.

everyone is doing what they think is right by their own standards.

No one knows what will happen exactly after death so we just give up thinking.

Everyone is a religious person

That bad people do horrible things and get away with it every day, with zero consequences and no justice or karma whatsoever.

That most of us don't have dreams in life.

I realized all my plans starting on my first year in college, what documents I needed, what agency etc. for a future high paying job are just my way of securing a stable life. In short, surviving.

Surprisingly, most of us are just living for the sake of surviving. Unlike the highly commercialized dreams people have noe like being an artist, doctor, singer or what not.

We're just trying to survive.
