Wow
I feel like this is kind of crazy main character syndrome, but for some reason it always amazes me that everyone is living their life (or dying) at the exact same time. Like someone is watching a movie with their significant other, THIS SECOND, someone is bawling their eyes out in their bedroom, someone is going skydiving, someone is dressed up as Batman, RIGHT NOW. Like it’s amazing how 8 billion people can be doing stuff at the same time. And how out of 8 billion people, no one is the same as any other person. We all are dealing with our own struggles at the same point in time as everyone else on Earth. And who knows maybe some alien species in a galaxy far far away is building their cities and we are completely clueless if they exist and they are clueless that we exist. Like so much happens at the same time it’s crazy how many unique people are doing all their own stuff at the same time.
Earth is really really big and there are countless galaxies out there more likely than not with thriving worlds and intelligent civilizations.
The universe is crazy huge

Almost anything you can think of is happening somewhere at least once, on a daily basis.

1 ReplyI just had the most insane sense of dejavu reading that. The question is: Did I post a response last time, or did I hit that back arrow when I realized the edit was 70h ago? [quote]someone is dressed up as Batman, RIGHT NOW. Like it’s amazing how 8 billion people can be doing stuff at the same time.[/quote] On a parallel thread I bet that same person who's dressed up as Batman is out there in full Hatsune Miku cosplay. On a parallel thread, Harambe might still be alive.

6 RepliesYou might be right but this is not what I think about. I think about the fact that we have so many things we no nothing about, so many discoveries to make.every second passes into the next and the next. We will never reach the future because we always live in the present. We might see what the present has in store but we will never be able to jump to tomorrow, and even if we could that would just be the present in relation to our time. We will miss lots of chances and we will never know much, only what we decide or is decided for us. Yes there are thousands of little flecks of dust that make up a dusty table top; but very few are more important then the others. Yes earth is really quite big but our existence is meaningless. Don’t worry about the grand scheme of humanity, our future will just happen. Just do what you can to make life a bit better for all the dust flecks around you.

Edited by SinAfterSins: 6/15/2025 6:28:01 PMAlways think of the big picture, but mankind makes life so stressful, it's so hard to enjoy these moments of life. If you get too out of your head... don't end up in hospital, stay grounded, and mediate.

Seems more like you are temporarily breaking out of main character syndrome (which we all have) to consider the many perspectives that exist. You can even do that on a much smaller level. Think about the countless bugs and other creatures that inhabit your garden or local park. You could spend a lifetime studying their tiny world and never see it all. Or take any object in your immediate vicinity and consider what’s happening at a subatomic level, stuff that we are mostly ignorant of in our day to day life. The universe is also crazy small. [quote]more likely than not with thriving worlds and intelligent civilizations.[/quote] I feel like that could be true. However, we just don’t know what the chances of life are and then the chances that life evolves to “thriving worlds and intelligent civilisations.” Maybe it only happened once. *passes the joint*
