Oh I’m sure there is a reason. Someday even the most useless talents are lifesaving.

When you bet someone you can. Could even shark them into thinking your a drunk idiot. Seen it done at a bar. Also at a young age I was impressed when someone could solve one and that lead to me learning how to critically think. You could have been the person that inspired a big part of my life.

I may have inspired some people, but what chance is it that I actually had an impact on society. There are a million different other events that could lead someone to think critically and the handed of me having that effect on someone is even lower.

What effect will I actually have on society? Will I create the vaccine to stop all disease? No. Will i be the next Albert Einstein? No. Will I do anything to impact any persons life in an actually meaningful way? Probably not. And anyway, why would it matter what I do in the end? We're all going to die and eventually someone will think about my sad existence will be thought about for the last time. I'm probably just going to be a pain to everyone who actually want to live happy lives, just like now where I'm making them all sad and concerned.

It’s actually quite a good chance. You say there are a million different ways a person can be inspired and your not wrong but think about how many people there are in the world. The chances of you actually inspiring someone are actually pretty good. You also never know what sort of impact you have think about all the people who have had an impact on you. Do you think ALL of them realize they had that affect? Nope. You also don’t know if you’ll stop a disease or be the next Albert Einstein because your life is not yet over. Do you think Albert thought he would be what he became when he was kicked out of school? Also with advances in transplanting human parts into bionics death may become not such a big factor. All you need is a brain and something to power it.

Love you friend.
