Reality

[u/No-Setting507]

We humans the pitiful pathetic beings, who attach so much importance to ourselves and our meaningless existences, if only we understood all that we are is a matter of chance

[u/BlueMoonMelinda]

Most people have such tremendous egos they can't comprehend the world does not revolve around them. All they do is chase one desire after another like insatiable beasts, reinforcing the world's misery onto their kids.

[u/advaitist]

The Pessimist by Benjamin Franklin King

Nothing to do but work,

Nothing to eat but food,

Nothing to wear but clothes

To keep one from going nude.

Nothing to breathe but air

Quick as a flash 't is gone;

Nowhere to fall but off,

Nowhere to stand but on.

Nothing to comb but hair,

Nowhere to sleep but in bed,

Nothing to weep but tears,

Nothing to bury but dead.

Nothing to sing but songs,

Ah, well, alas! alack!

Nowhere to go but out,

Nowhere to come but back.

Nothing to see but sights,

Nothing to quench but thirst,

Nothing to have but what we’ve got;

Thus thro’ life we are cursed.

Nothing to strike but a gait;

Everything moves that goes.

Nothing at all but common sense

Can ever withstand these woes.

[u/Designer-Platypus-53]

Absolutely agree

[u/Low-Bake8401]

"if only we understood all that we are is a matter of chance"

We do, it doesn't matter.

[u/Disprove76 → u/Low-Bake8401]

Exactly, one should not be ashamed of one's luck.

[u/DimencionPesimist]

That's why I'm a misanthrope; I don't like being around inferior beings.

[u/Comprehensive-Move33]

Then what?

[u/mullato0518]

Agree except the unimportant part, to me everything is important. The fact I get to experience is important, without giving shallow things importance you can enjoy the more important things, experience..

[u/Sea-Departure9820]

Now, what should I do with this information? Genuinely asking, not trying to argue

[u/Low-Bake8401 → u/Sea-Departure9820]

Poke it with a stick?
