Title: Don't take life or death too seriously...
Post by: Jay Zmuda on February 15, 2012, 08:32:24 PM
The rest of the world, including me, takes things way too seriously. Like being late, making typoes, thing like that... But do these things really matter, in the grand scheme of things? Not really. For all the serious stuff we preach ? like getting your life into order, figuring out how to live ?well?, cultivating good habits ? we hardly ever take a step back and laugh at ourselves, at the absurdity that we feel like we need to absorb all these self-improvement concepts in order to live a good life.

You don't, dudes. Life isn't that serious. It's a tragicomedy, and you should be laughing at it often.

Far-out dude I like it. I agree! Everyone needs to take a step back and look at the universe, we're a little pale blue dot! Why doesnt everyone see that all the tedious things that people take seriously don't matter! The universe doesn't care if we're 5 min late, hell the universe doesn't even care about time! Far out.

Yeah dude....  Earth is just a speck of dust revolving around a minor star in the backwoods of our galaxy.. It's really mind blowing if you stop and think about it.
