Nobody is special, nothing matters

[densvensken00]

Its crazy to think about the fact that we all feel so alone and sad, yet in the end nothing of what we do will matter lol. most of us will not amount to anything special in life and our death will not be remarkable, so why do we humans care so much?

it's mentally impossible for a person not to care about something, we are humans and we have a complex mind that analyze things before we even really think about it. It's a survival strategy, if we didn't care, we probably wouldn't have even been here in the first place

One of the things I have learned the hard way is that real friends are pretty rare. Acquaintances come and go, but real friends are there for you through thick and thin. If you have one or two real friends in a lifetime, that is an awesome thing.

Don't expect or seek a lot of friends. It isn't going to happen. If you find one good friend, treasure that person.

most people are afraid of death and what happens after death. they can't understand unbearable pain and suffering, so they share what they know about, the bright side of living. sometimes the despair is insurmountable, and death seems like a relief.

Because life is worth living for some and not so much for others. There is so much beauty in the world. Of course there's a lot of pain and suffering also but that shouldn't take away from the experience of life as a whole. Death is part of the life cycle and it will come eventually so it's better to just enjoy the time that you do have because no one really knows what happens after death. Usually I find that people don't really want to die, they just want to find a place where they can be happy but death doesn't bring happiness, no matter how hard they try to believe so.

such a well spoken truth but the chances of finding that is highly limited.

Maybe many humans care so much as this existence is all they know and unless they find a way to cease existing they have no choice but to deal with it. But I see it as something comforting how existence is completely meaningless and is destined for nothing but to be erased. I see it as best that the terrible mistake that is existence is forgotten about, there's no value in futile and unnecessary suffering that just leads to decay and death anyway. Only the absence of everything is perfection to me as after all one cannot suffer from not existing.

Yes, life is mostly pointless and meaningless. Nothing really matters, and we begin slowly dying the moment we're born.

my question in the end was more meant to say theres not really any actual point to care since i do know humans naturally care, but looking past that and asking the question WHY do we care at this point in life? ofc its a survival instinct but why survive if its all for nothing?

Agreed. Even the most famous people who ever lived (or have lived in history) will be forgotten about eventually, I've already resigned myself to that fact.
