The Philosophical Helix

If the world wasn’t the way it was, how would it be? I’m not talking in relation to all the good things and all the bad things in the world, but I’m talking– if everything that exists to this day, didn’t, how would it be? What if people, animals, nature, and Earth as a planet didn’t exist, what would this world be like? What if the sun, the moon, and the stars didn’t exist? What about other planets and universes? What if they didn’t exist? Would there be nothing? Would there even be any darkness? What if life didn’t exist? Wouldn’t that mean that death also wouldn’t exist? Could that last question translate to how the world really is to this day? If a person never really truly lives, can they ever actually truly die, or does their body just disappear? I believe in a greater power because how could one person or one thing create such a world so complex? Who or what would even think- imagine a world where we’re born into our mother’s womb where we grow for nine months, come out as a small child, and hopefully, continue to grow, both physically and mentally as a person for the next 70-80-90-maybe a hundred years if you’re lucky or blessed enough. Don’t you think it’s crazy how we’re all given these struggles without asking for them– shoot, we don’t even ask for this life and we’re expected to find something out of it that we enjoy because to live an unhappy life for the expected amount of years we’re here would be a miserable life, and to cut it short yourself would be selfish. Because to finally think of yourself first, would be selfish. To finally say that you’re done dropping everything to help everyone to be “nice”, “caring”, and “sweet”, would be selfish, so to feel unheard or disrespected when setting boundaries pushes you to the edge, that is called selfishness, huh? What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? How did we get here? Can science, the Bible, astrology, statues or crystals prove why we’re here? Maybe one, or two, all, or none of the above can, but in reality, we’re all just here. None of us can truly prove why we’re here, no matter how strongly we believe in what we believe, but how we believe in what we believe, does in fact affect how we live while on earth. Is there an afterlife, before-life, different dimensions, etc.? Does time travel exist? I could tell you what I believe, which is that there is a greater presence, and I believe their name is God. I believe that there is a before and an afterlife, and that time travel exists, also meaning that different dimensions also exist, but it’s complicated. As a person who has surrounded themselves around people of many different beliefs and backgrounds, I believe that all of them kind of make sense in a way, but there are also parts that make total nonsense, but what would that point do towards this argument, because shoot– we’re on a floating rock that spins around a fiery ball. I think sometimes I think about my life ending, not because I always hate the life that I have here on earth, but because of the constant identity crisis I have for myself as far as religion, style, and sexuality, coming from the household that I came from. I don’t feel like I fit it anywhere sometimes, but other times I feel like I fit in everywhere. Maybe that’s what’s so special about me- I don’t fit in anywhere, but in order to survive I need people. So to survive do I act as a chameleon– colorshifting to my surroundings, or accept that I’ll just feel and look out of place. Or is it all in my head? Am I thinking about life a little too deeply? Or maybe I’m just thinking critically.

What is this life? Shoot- what is life?? Why does it always change? Or does life stay the same, and people are more outspoken about what they believe, making the once "majority" the minority and scared for their lives? Don't you think it's cool how culture differs from region to region, and from generation to generation-- from time period to time period? I truly think it's crazy how even the medicines and the resources we have change over time. How did we go from living past 200, to 500, 600, 900 years old to the average lifespan only being about 50-60 due to "lack of medicines", to now being able to live until at least 70 to 80 give or take. The eldest person known to man if you look it up was only 122 compared to Methuselah who lived to 969. The oldest person currently alive is 116 years old. I also think it's crazy to think about in the book of Genesis people were shocked that God could present Sarai/Sarah with a baby at her "old age" of 90 years old, but forgetting that 90 was very young back then. And yes, it is old for having a child, but in my head I would think since the age lifespan has shifted since then, so would the biology of how long your body can do things such as move around, and having babies. What could cause the lifespan to shift from hundreds and hundreds of years to barely making it to a hundred, and never even making it to 150? If Sarah could live liked some people to the 900s, at 90, when she had Isaac, she'd only be 10% or less done with her life. The same as living to about eight to ten in this life which is very, very young for having a kid. I just think there are soooo many unanswered questions that nobody can make sense of and no one knows the answers to that makes this life both scary and exciting to live.

What are your thoughts? How do you live life?
