When The World Ends · 1:03am Jan 23rd, 2017

When you think about it, at any given moment, of any given day, a meteor could crash into the earth, we could blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons, we could have our entire civilization destroyed by super volcanoes, or earthquakes, or water covering the earth, or any number of natural or man-made disasters that could eradicate our species.

Thinking about life after the earth as we know it today ceases exist is kind of interesting. Will another species evolve? Will the planet just blow up, leaving nothing behind? There are so many possibilities.

But then you think of the fact that everything anyone has ever done on this planet up until that point would have never amounted to anything. Even if the planet somehow survived, archaeologists from other planets, dimensions, or even species that evolved on the planet itself probably wouldn't complete understand human culture as it used to be. Anything we once thought was so important would be gone in an instant.

I guess when you think of all of this you have to just be grateful for the time you have to be alive. You only have one life to live and one impression to make in the grand scheme of the universe before your light fades out into obscurity. So we all should strive to treasure those moments when we still exist and our memories in some way or another (either fame or through stories passed down by families or cultures throughout the ages) can live on.

That's...

That's making me contemplate my existence.

I...I don't know how to respond to this.

Tough questions.

I honestly believe we'll destroy ourselves before some civilization-ending natural disaster happens, but then again Mother Nature isn't that easy to predict.

... Now I am gonna end up contemplating about this when I should go to bed... my fault... Probably gonna have a headache wish me luck for IDK what or why!

That's a very interesting subject mate; however, I know that won't happen because of what the scriptures tell us.

My existence, well. I've accepted that I'll fade into obscurity, no one will remember my name for as long as my stuff remains on the internet after I'm long dead. The name Dustchu will fade into time, until it becomes nothing more then a mere speck of dust in the wind. I'd like to think I'll live on in my stories, but let's be honest, once I'm dead I'll be forgotten :applejackunsure:

And if the world did suffer something incredibly bad, I think some of humanity will survive. There will always be some prepper in a bunker somewhere, some lucky fuck in a deep enough basement or a high enough cabin in the mountains. We're survived all the crap life has thrown at us so far... we ain't gonna be erased so easily. :pinkiecrazy:

4392777 It's definitely a subject that makes you think. :)

4392801 Or maybe it will be a little of both. :0

4392937 Then I wish you luck with your quest, my friend. Try to get some sleep though. Sleep is always a good thing.

4392938 They tell us what happens with earth. But earth is just one story in a very large universe. Perhaps this story will repeat into infinity. Or maybe new stories will be written. It's an interesting thing to think about for sure.

4393241 Maybe we will survive. Maybe we will move to another planet or dimension. Or maybe a new species will either evolve or find its way to this planet. It's difficult to say. But it is definitely interesting to think about.

Very interesting, I'd like to think we'd evolve high enough that I'll live to see a planet terriformed and colonized. That or find a way to cross dimensions, hehe.

"I have known many gods. He who denies them is as blind as he who trusts them too deeply. I seek not beyond death. It may be the blackness averred by the Nemedian skeptics, or Crom's realm of ice and cloud, or the snowy plains and vaulted halls of the Nordheimer's Valhalla. I know not, nor do I care. Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content." -Conan of Cimmeria aka Conan the Barbarian

I really don't know what to say.

4393275 I think that would be really awesome. And I would like to think that too,

4393313 That's a great quote. Thank you for sharing it.

4394759
