I'm getting scared again, it's been almost 13 days since I got poked. I still haven't heard anything from them. I don't know if that's a good sign or what. I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow and ask.
Meanwhile I'm thinking of death, dying and whether or not there is an afterlife. I think death is nothingness, that it is like before we were born.
I'm thinking about the nature of time and space, about our universe and it's fate. Yeah, I'm thinking *big*.
I'm trying to comes to terms with death by putting it into the context of cosmology. LOL
I like cosmology. I like thinking about our universe, super string theory, M-theory, quantum mechanical weirdness, the theories of relativity and other mind boggling stuff. (Don't get me to explain them though, I just read about them in popular science books. LOL)
It comforts me to know that we are probably insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I like to think that humans are not special beings.
Anyone else take comfort in these thoughts?
This sort of thinking comforts me, but it isn't all that productive! It basically means that I can do absolutely nothing in this life and be no different than the person who achieved everything...because we are all insignificant.
I like to believe that nothing we do in this life means anything in the grand scheme of things.
LOL I'm sure there's a reason why no religions take these views. Society would cease to function if everyone did nothing or anything they wanted!
