The most depressing thing I've ever read in my life

Posted by Gagsy - February 10th, 2011


To quote directly from a book about recession tips;

"This is a bad time but it will pass quickly. We all know roughly why it's happened and to a degree we're all partly to blame, although the bankers deserve the lion's share of it obviously. So put down that cudgel and stop hanging around outside Northern Rock and let's not dwell on the past and look to the future.

By 2015 what is making you worry now will be but a distant memory and you will look back through the fog of time and wonder what all the fuss was about.

By 2050 there will most certainly have been another recession, possibly two, even three and you'll be an old hand at dealing with them. You will laugh in the face of monetary meltdown.

By 2100 you will almost certainly be dead. Sorry to be blunt but it's true.

By 2200 you will most likely be completely and totally forgotten other than an entry on a family tree, a profile on Facebook or a dusty photo on a wall.

By 5000AD it is likely that the human race will be extinst. Forget global warming, our explosive rate of population growth is not sustainable and nature will correct it. Nature corrects, that's what it does.

Sixty million years hence a new species will be digging up your fossilised remains, polishing them and putting them in a museum. Experts will speculate how you were probably green in colour, almost certainly evolved from gerbils and more than likely spent your time mindlessly attacking other humans because you only had brains, laughably, the size of a melon.

In just under a billion years time the earth will be engulfed by the sun as it expands in its final spectacular death throes. After that the sun will go out and become a purposeless lump of dull rock drifting in the frozen void.

So, you, everyone else around you, everything that is important to you right now is a temporary state of affairs that really has no significance in the greater universe. A few years of economic uncertainty is not going to affect that so you might as well pick yourself up, stop worrying, be nice to those around you and think of ways to get through it."

This is meant to make me feel better? I just feel fucking mortal and useless. Cheers book.

That's pretty deep..

Deep and fucking scary.

Sixty million years one is pretty creepy, What should i do now? I feel like a waste

Exactly. :(

Who cares if you're forgotten

At least the people you care most about will never forget, and if they do, then they didn't care enough in the first place.

I want people to remember me from what they knew of me personally. I don't care if my name is in some history book.

It's not the being forgotten that scares me, it's the idea of nothing and our whole earth, our whole world not existing anymore. Just becoming nothing. That scares me.

You're still here, huh?

Apparently.

The Andromeda galaxy is predicted to collide with the Milky Way in 3 to 5 billion years, rendering it all useless anyway.

There ain't no god, no higher purpose. It's all matter, mathematics, laws and physics.

YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.

What about sex?

Means to an end?

I actually have that in mind all the time, that everything is only temporary. It makes me appreciate my life.

I wish I could see it your way. Sadly I have the 'glass half empty' way of viewing it.

I really hate you. Not because of your personality or because of anything you've ever done to me, in all aspects you seem like a nice person, but because you're popular and everyone loves you.
I never like those people. Ever.

If it helps I don't like myself at all and I disapprove of people 'loving' me just because I post a lot.

At least thanks for admitting that I seem like a nice person.

hey hey leanne.

HI!

i think that if if i happen to exist when the world ends, i'll float like Matt Bellamy does in the Bliss video, except maybe I'd be minus a head cuz of pressure differences.

WEEE <3

also you ARE a nice person.

<3<3

Well, even as a Catholic I fear nothingness as well. In fact, I fear any kind of eternity in general, I almost feel at peace knowing that one day this life will end, possibly even motivated by it.

But the idea of existing or not existing forever terrifies me because I can't even begin to grasp it.

Would you really want to live forever?

That's pretty fucking deep, man. The only feeling i can compare this to is falling. Pretty awful. :[

Coincidentally, by the time the Andromeda galaxy collides with our Milky Way, Chelsea still won't have won the Champions league. lolololo

We'll both be long dead so who knows. Maybe Liverpool will be back playing in the Champions League by that point but it's not looking hopeful.

Could be back sooner than you think, babes. ;)

Andy Carroll still to come, and no difficult Champions league schedule to navigate..

No pressure on us, either, unlike a certain other two London clubs..

Lol.

Haha that's all just shit. It reminds me of that english Nature Discovery Channel, or how it was called.

Gaaagsy, dun be afraid. You could've written this as well, and laugh about it. No really, this text is senseless after all, I mean hush, about which fact do you actually care? Go make plans for next weekend bro.

That's not important. Now is important. So make your today as good as you can and maybe being forgotten won't matter quite so much.
