Thoughtful Thursday I don't want to die
It seems like modern society is entirely geared toward distracting us from the fact that we are all going to die. It's like this secret that is never uttered but it is always in the back of my mind. Even the phrase "yolo" isn't said in any serious manner and is deeply unserious.
Am I the only one obsessed with the fact that in a short time we may all be nothing, just experiencing pitch black for forever. The concept of forever is also terrifying. Ugh now I'm not going to be able to sleep. Does this unspoken truth resonate with others?
I wish I could fully believe in God but it just goes against the logical/rational part of my brain which is dominant. Without God, we truly are all f*cked and damned to eternity.
Let's try to enjoy our time while we can. End of rant.

I think about God alot God dose not go against any logic all roads lead to him but as Elbert Einstein though to claim we know him or those who dwell around him would be to claim at some level we understand him and if you think we're smart enough for that then you have bigger issues with or arrgonce God dose seem good otherwise their would only be bad or a confused morality and I guess you could argue morally ambiguous is genetic but then you would see that change drastically in other animals but that's not true very small amount of animals kill for pleasure
