"There must be a greater meaning"

Why? Because you believe yourself important?

There are 6 billion other individuals who might have an arguement for that piece of intergalactic uniqueness you just claimed there, skier.

There is _no_ reason, _no_ evidence, nothing save our own desperate reachings to suggest that there is anything intrinsicaly valuable in human life.

"What if you lived 1000 years? 10 000? What if you did not die?"

Man, the universe works on a completely different timescale to the human mind. The Earth, The Sun and even the damn galaxy we're hurtling around are inconsequencial pieces of a much greater whole.

Eventually, it'll all be swallowed up, crushed and ejected as pure energy from a black hole - to become part of the endless vibration that is the background radiation of interstellar space - the only thing in the (very small) sections of the universe that we can observe as yet that stands a chance of making it into the top 20 of "Important Things In The Universe".

You are insignificant.
We are insignificant.
Our knowledge is insignificant.
Our future is insignificant.

You Will Die.
You Will Be Forgotten.
Your Race Will Die Out.
Your God Will Be Replaced, Then Forgotten - As Will It's Successors.

Give Up Your Vain Hope Of Immortality And LIVE NOW.
