"The Egg" by Andy Weir
Death
Georgius: There is only one thing that is certain in life - and that is death. Nothing else is guaranteed in life, nothing will continue forever. Like flying in the air - you will touch ground eventually. Nothing is certain. You can have intentions and you can change your intentions but that's all there is you intentionally can do. Everything else is not up to you.
🎉 enjoy the moment as it could be your last 😃
Energy
Alan Watts: Peace can be made only by those who are peaceful and love can be shown only by those who love.
God
Meaning of Life
all religions are the same -> there's not just one way of doing it.
We are all part of the same energy!
Universe
The whole universe just for me? Reason behind it: There's only me. And me is you. We're all one.
No, I don't believe in that
Soul > Mind
That's why we are all connected through our humaneness
No, I'm just a passenger in this big bus of the universe. At one point I jumped in and at another point I'll jump out. I have no control over neither. Just like you, Terrance are a passenger of my bus. At some point you will get off. And vice versa. Anything can happen, only death is certain.
Someday you'll become like me... No, I don't believe that. I'm not God's child, I'm not a fetus. I might be a commie but I'm also a strong believer of individualism. Everybody is different somehow.
To mature? No, I disagree. Maturing would mean there's an beginning and at some point also an end. At least in the human era as far as I understand it.
I know that I'm afraid of snakes,depth and dependence. But I also know that those fears are only in my mind. It's truly possible to overcome those self-made fears by accepting snakes just as wriggling creatures, depth as just a dark place without ground to stand on and 🚩

Like two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year.
Our minds are too small to comprehend everything there is. Q: Does this mean that you can feel more than you can think? Because for thoughts you have to have names, feelings can just float around without the need for labels/names.
I've always believed in Karma Points. Doing something good without intentionally wanting to do something good. Doing good more like a by-product.
We're all connected, but are we also all the same? I don't believe in that.
Reincarantion as the method for that?
Funny thought that I have all the knowledge and experience within me, but that also means we are somehow limited to the things that already existed beforehand. I don't believe in limitations and I also don't believe in the future. Only the present moment is there to be lived. When I quote "Future-Linda" then I do it for only one reason: I specifially decide to not decide on something in the present moment, put it on hold and see if it's still there when future will be caught by then present then. I like to gamble. This is my version of real life gambling 😃

= The little Prince "You wouldn't understand". I think this is patronizing. Don't assume I won't understand. Ask me straight and see what I am really capable of. Don't assume things without being me. But if you(=god) are me and you don't understand it yourself then I again see a limitation I inherently don't believe in.
I always believed in something like God. When I was younger I probably believed in God as the catholic church teaches you. And I still like to go to random churches in different cities/countries and pray Hail Marys and have a talk with God about my current situation. I've always believed in something like God as a greater power, something that oversees us, keeps it together, unlocks a door that we still have to open up ourselves. But after watching Kurzgesagt's video about "Optimisti nihilsm" I'm not so sure about that anymore.
