"We only live in the minds of other people"

Thank you Sarah. Today in philosophy discussing the same idea that struck me two years ago. That we "don't matter" and how in two centuries we won't exist or be remembered therefore none of our actions matter the slightest bit. I remember how this theory affected my life. Thank god I realized how stupid and wrong it is. Yet I still stick to some of the ideas I had back then. So is there an ultimate meaning to our lives? To our existence, or is all pure absurdity? This space of time between birth and getting to where we want to be, Thomas Negel saying it's all absurd, and we need to accept that. Stop going between not caring and taking yourself way too seriously, find a balance. 


We watch our soaps to tell us how good our lives are, 
We create gods and goddesses to put purpose in our lives. 


They asked me to speak today. "No, that's all wrong. You will probably get offended but I think you're wrong for using God or some kind of greater power to tie meaning into your life. We created "reason". We created the word and the meaning of "reason". There is no such this as "reason". It's something we planted into our brain because of the idea of "action and reaction", but the universe is just so much beyond "reason". It doesn't know of meaning, and we are way too small to ever comprehend that. We aren't nearly intelligent enough to understand it, and we never will, that's why we choose god to put find that meaning. There shouldn't be any, because it's true, we live in the minds of other people, for how long? 100 years? Create your own meaning if you need one. Create a life that is eventful enough for you to never be able to stop and think "What is the meaning?"
The Stoics were right and you'll never understand it. Stop wasting time."
