I went from a state of none existence to scribbling small symbols on dried slices of plant because other monkeys who are supposedly in charge expect me to share a part of the colored bills i was rewarded in rerurn for being complacent in following orders by yet other monkeys who supposedly own my work space because symbols on a slice of dried plant prooves they they do.
Oh and i am also constantly overwhelmed by weird phenomena called emotions and i need to drag a meat suit with me to care for cause if i dont i will experience negative effects before ending up back at non existence which no matter how hard i try i will one day end up regardless.
Better question would be is there annything normal about our existence at all?
Normal is just a concept we came up with to make us feel better about all these existential shenanigans.
Sometimes I zone out and thinking about this stuff and it kind of overwhelmes me. It is fascinating and scary that we are just smarter monkeys everything about human existence and civilization I feel like no one knows what they are doing at the end we are just hairless monkeys on a dying planet that have to complete tasks that actually mean nothing in the great scheme of things.
Only thing thats meaningfull is helping other people
*others.
Including our very own planet, which as far as we know is the only one able to sustain any life at all.
Absolutely
