Have you come to terms with the transient nature of your existence yet?

Question

Just curious

Answer 1

I am coming to terms with it and it is an interesting endeavor to ponder for ages. One in which I will spend the remainder of my transient life trying to discern. I have accepted the inevitability that all things will be destroyed and perish cycling into newer, more evolved forms of existence and being. The nitrogen cycle carries on, but eventually the universe will crunch, destroying everything that man has made and will bang into existence again (I think).

When pondering this it seems that any egoism in expressing and receiving any meaning from your life shall be done in vain. What is meaningful to me and correlates with my emotions is pointless in the advent of it's mortality. However, I believe that right now, in this transient instant, as time proceeds, there is so much more meaningfulness to be grasped when faced with its vulnerability and certain demise. It inspires one to not want to procrastinate in fulfilling one's life, because, all things being temporal, this is the only chance we have to emote and express, and what should not matter is the fear and depression that all things will come to a close.

These words I type to you are also in vain, unless they can live on in your consciousness and be handed down to the consciousness of future people. Though these words along with everything else will not withstand the supernova of our great star Helios, let alone the future collision of galaxies, nor the Big Crunch, which will amalgamate all things into one tiny speck (I think).

These words are not immortal. No one thing that stands apart from the entirety of the universe will ever live on. The only thing that is immortal is transience itself, and that is a beauty that will live on for eternity whether anyone appreciates the beauty or not.

I have not only accepted the transience of my existence, I strive for it whole heartedly, and it is a beloved realization that sits somberly in my mind for as long as my mind will function.

properly, it became maximum possibly a organic defence against predators who needed to consume the plant. some flowers developed categories of toxins, on an identical time as this plant developed that's very own style of toxin. It in order that got here approximately that this toxin worked out for it, so it observed no reason to alter, as i'm advantageous it had no clue that that's toxin became somewhat diverse from the different poisonous flowers, or that people could look some thousands and thousands of years later to smoke it. I doubt that's had sufficient time to attain that that's toxin is purely inflicting it to get burned, and that it would desire to might desire to alter that's defence mechanism, yet in spite of this, possibly it's going to proceed to enhance on the grounds that we purely look breeding the plant. If that may no longer the rationalization, then i can't think of of the different reason it may start to enhance. Why did many organic and organic hallucinogenics ensue?
