If everything happen on earth is very insignificant, why can’t our problems?

When i consider my personal, universal insignificance, I get a sense of helplessness due to realizing just how profoundly, such a tiny, universally irrelevant problem, can affect me.

Something no one else understands, can and has ruined my life. The resulting misery is inescapable, and is /the/ most significant thing i experience… and with each heartbeat, i am reminded of how insignificant the ruining of my life and subsequent torment actually is, to anyone else. What torments me is ignored by others… even when they request an explanation. What torments me was mostly caused by others, who chose not to consider the potential of their choices for causing irrevocable destruction to my life.

And yet… they all scurry around, striving to survive, but never prosper… as if to indicate expectation of some reward… as if they think “this is all just a test, and you have to pass it to receive your reward…” which makes this life itself meaningless, other than perceiving it as the gateway to “something more…” which has, at best, been only fabled, but never actually seen. By anyone.

@pain:

but wouldn’t it be “better,” to be stranded in pretend land, which would necessarily mean that your problems and reality are no longer able to force your acknowledgment of them (perhaps due to your attention and consideration no longer even being required)?

But yeah… unless you actually can get stranded in pretend land (where your problems no longer disrupt you), reality and problems have a tendency to prevent pretend land from even being entered.
