Im going to be dead soon. Some day I will cease to exist, simply gone. Just like the 100 billion other humans who died before me, crumbling to dust and leaving as legacy only the most esoteric and indefinable impacts on the future of humanity through my impacts on the humans around me which will be passed on to their decnedents. And I won't even be remembered for my art just my influence, if I'm lucky

like, what the fuck am I supposed to do????

edit: I forgot to set the community and it defaulted to !earth@hexbear.net so I mean whatever I guess fuck you

    The more spiritual approach isn’t really about an afterlife either in the way it’s been popularized with the Abrahamic faiths. Afterlife as I grew up knowing it was more that you would lose sense of your being as a human and merge with the overall energy of the earth, becoming a part of it on your own. All attachments you had in your life as a living being dissolve as the Earth takes your being and absorbs you with it. There are some complications with spirits and apparitions that only a select number of people can actually see or interact with, but this is reaching territory that probably sounds hokey to those who haven’t lived in the culture.

    As a fantastical counterpart, Final Fantasy's Lifestream seems to make more consistent sense than the average Calvinist "the rich are rich because God preselected them to be the bestest boys and they will also live forever in a magical land because they were preselected for that too" ideology. :ecoterrorism: :an-tifa:
