Hey there.
This is my first post on the site which means that it will probably be a little bit incoherent and inconsistent as this is my first time posting anything on the web so i will try to keep it short and quick.
Humans were and still are weirdly unusual creatures. We have developed many technologies that can and has helped us in many ways surpass our limited abilities in numerous areas but in doing so we have also -intentionally or not- chained our own lives to it. Those chains of our own making have made it so that we may have forgotten the reason for many of those innovation in the first face.
Mortality in all its forms means nothing in our current world. The thought “we are only humans in the end of day” has never been so unimportant in the history of man. Those who say that life has a hidden meaning that we -as humans- must find it to be fulfilled are nothing but fools drunk on hope, grief and delusion. The delusion that we truly have a fixed destiny that we can’t deviate from no matter what we do is entirely illogical. This idea is weird and offensive even but before we judge it, let’s think about it a little. Destiny or faith as we like to call it is not known so it is not fixed but what we can be sure of is the things that has happened. In this scenario the past is a fixed destiny that we can’t change nor affect, as for the present we can give it the denomination of the unstable but predictable faith, this means that we can’t be 100% sure what will happen, but we can limit it to multiple scenarios while not forgetting the element of chaos and coincidences that can occur at any moment. As for the future, well we can’t give any true predictions so this means we can call it the reward and that is in the sense that it is the result of our actions with a spin of the unpredictability of the development in all areas, in simpler words we can make it whatever we like but we can’t guarantee anything unless we control all the things that can and will affect it, in other words unless you can shape reality you can’t guarantee anything. As controversial as this may be, we can’t deny that it has some degree of truth.
