When the world ends?

Question

Will anything you have ever said or done really matter? Did your life have any value. Kind of like the question, if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise...

Answer 1

On the scale of earthly time, individual lives are but mere blinks of an eye. We're born, we live, we die and then you're not heard from ever again. There might be a tombstone or family tree made with your name on it, but eventually the tombstone weathers from age and who knows what media your family tree will be used.

All the memories and accomplishments will be totally forgotten, unless you're a Hitler or Alexander the Great type person. In a thousand years, your bones will be dust and no other trace of your existence will be seen, unless, of course you become fossilized for some reason, but even then, after thousands of years more, that will be disintegrated into dust.

We influence the lives of our children and others, but they too will eventually die. So what's the point of living?

In astronomical terms, the Earth will eventually succumb to the supernova of our Sun, it's an astonomically certainty the earth will be burned to a crisp.

So does death render our lives meaningless. If we were immortal, that would be the ultimate in boredom, repetition, day after day, of doing the same thing for thousands of years (hundreds may be OK, but nothing beyond that)....but i digress, back to the question of does anything we say or do really matter.

It all boils down to how creative we can be in the short period of time we have on this earth....Our activities need to be worthwhile for their own sake, not because they fulfill some supernatural transcendental purpose....LIVE for TODAY DAMNIT

Answer 2

A noise does not depends on some one hearing it. It is unconditional, it means that a noise do not have to fulfil any other conditions to be a noise. It is a noise wiothout all these things.

When the world ends, it ends, and perhaps it also shall be the beginning of another world, we can not say for sure. In all likelihood, man must have found another place to live much before the end of the world, or science must have made such advancements to make a synthetic world possible.

Perhaps there shall be continuations...........

Answer 3

As human beings are a nano-something in a transition of which they know nothing about, or of a transition of which they just may have some naive contradictory intuitions, or a transition that their reason cannot definitely glowingly explain, it is not given to them to know when the world ends.

Now, whatever we have said and or done, and whatever we are going to say and or do hereafter, will really really matter in our will to life and in our immediate and far contingencies.

Our experiences are our learning; rules, laws, precepts and creeds, even the utmost superstitious ones, are our paradigms of our life and tangibly of most near and far others' life, as these paradigms are the only glowing ones we know and the only ones we may try to apply. What really matters is our will to life in an aggregate or conglomerate complex of part-life systems that constitute our body as we know it.

Now, about the tree, if a tree falls and no anthropomorphic or other hearing one is around to hear it, the tree makes a noise TO ITSELF in the improbabilily that no one is around to hear it. We may shallowly dare say that it makes a dramatic and even huge noise to its own falling life from and in the air around itself, a dramatic falling noise as you would do in the air and from the air and with your own utmost tense panic gasp, if you - God forbid - were hurled down into the abyss, to a transition of which that self same tree may know nothing about, or may have some naive and even superstitious intuition which only may be a nano-component part of the intuition of the global reality (the global reality's own intuition) around the tree itself, a reality in which and of which that self same tree is in fact a more or less naively minimally conscious nano-something.

Answer 4

If you believe in an afterlife with a memory, then yes. People will remember the noble things you did for them.

Otherwise, that's a good question. All the evidence of what you did will be destroyed, but it still won't change what you have done in life.

Answer 5

Absolutely

Answer 6

When a tree falls the energy vibrations resound through the universe. As do my words and actions. I donut know about you ?

Answer 7

i think your life made a difference if you loved.
i think everything revolves around love.
if you think about love and the possibilities it holds and the things it accomplishes you have to realize that this life that we know isn't everything
there is something more
and id like to think that what we do in our life will be remembered after
and i think the most important thing you can do in this life is to love and accept love
