Okay, so first off,the reason I've been gone for like,5 days is because I was binge watching Avatar:The Last Airbender and I just finished watching season 3 and the series all together and I just feel like this rn:

😐

Like,my mind is losing the ability to function

How am I even typing this

BLEH

okay,anyways

So yeah,now I'm continuing on with the Legend of Korra (my heart is breaking on the inside cri) and I may disappear for another few days so

There's that ☺

ALSO I have homework that's due Monday and there's a lot (...a lot :') ) so I may be gone for the rest of this weekend

Zuko is forever my weakness

And now to today's existential crisis:

So if you're reading this, you're obviously alive right now. Maybe you're on the verge of death and clinging on to the last remnants of life while you read this, but a little bit of life is better than none at all, right?

But anyways, I just want you to think, what purpose do we all have on this planet we call not only Earth, but home?

No living thing on this planet asked to be conceived. The planet itself didn't ask to be conceived. The universe just decided, "Hey, I wanna bring something new into this place!" and BAM, here we are.

Once we're born, we don't immediately decide what we want to do with our lives. Heck, once we're on that hospital room we're probably thinking, "Put me back in the womb!" And honestly, I don't blame you. There are so many paths that you can take in life, the possibilities are practically endless. So what if your parents want you to become the stereotypical doctor or lawyer or fireman? You don't have to confine yourself and your future to their wishes. You're free to live your life the way you want.

That brings us to another question: what do you want to make of your life? I mean, a lot of us just simply exist. We don't do anything evil or terrible, but we also don't do anything good or heroic. We just go about our lives, eating, sleeping drinking, going to school, getting a job, possibly raising a family and kids, retire, and lice out the rest of our last few years of life doing nothing. Nothing at all. After we retire, we just await the sweet release of death, don't try to do anything meaning something. And by the time we do want to do something...

It's too late.

Some of us turn wicked and cruel, wanting nothing more than to see our enemies crushed underfoot like they're bugs. We want to see our hated foes killed, slaughtered, murdered, destroyed, exterminated, have them just cease existence.

Some of us go so far as wanting to see the entire world destroyed, even if we're going down as well.

And some of us want to do good. Some of us want to give hope to those who have become hopeless, give food to those hungry and starving, preserve all the good souls that deserve the live. Some of us just want to change the world for the better. We want to see a golden age across the globe where there is peace and prosperity wherever you go, no matter what country or continent it is. A world in which there are no more wars, no more hunger, no more disease, no more broken families, no more meaningless violence, no more hate that tears us apart and keeps us divided.

We just want to live in a world where everything is right and as it should be

But that may never happen, will it?

The world is so full of the greedy, the power-hungry, the cruel, the wicked, the bad, the dirty, the selfish, the heartless, the soulless, the ones who simply don't give a damn about anyone other than themselves.

Why?

Why do they do what they do?

Why do they see the need to be mean, why do they see the need to be nasty, why do they see the need to be judgemental, hateful, narrow-minded, cruel, awful, horrible, deceitful?

Why do they choose to be so evil?

Why do some people choose to make nothing out of their lives?

Why do some people choose to do good?

Why do we choose to do anything at all?

The sun that gives us warmth and light will eventually one day blow up on itself, turning into a black hole. And what then? All life on Earth will cease to exist, and as we enter the black hole, the sheer tremendous force of the gravity within will nearly crush our bones, our cells will be split, our bodies torn apart until there's nothing left.

What do we do until then?
