Look outside the window right now. If you are outside, simply look straight. Now, remove all the structures around you and look at the earth. Focus, and try to remove everything but the ground in front of you. Now, remove any thoughts you may have lingering in your head. Forget what your doing, and forget what your going to do. Also forget what you just did. Take a moment to try this, make sure to try your best to stay focused. When your done, record your thoughts. What did it feel like? Was it peaceful? Was it scary? Did you feel a weird sensation bolt through your body? Well, anything is acceptable.

The exercise we just did was an attempt to ground ourselves on the world. To get some realization of what life is and what we actually are doing. Going back to the situation before, we aren’t actually sitting in front of a screen. No, we are sitting in emptiness, only surrounded by things to occupy ourselves. It all will end, everything we do is essentially meaningless.

That root cause of meaninglessness is the effort spent ending up to no use. One may think some effort helped while another may think the same effort was of no use. In the end, when the last star dies and the last black hole evaporates, sending the universe into lifeless darkness, is all accumulated effort prior pointless? For what is it's worth, one that judges meaning after existance will certainly find meaningless, but one that judges meaning during existance will judge subjectively.

If I was to describe this mathematically, the sum of everything is 0. No meaning. But, if your reality is just a portion if all thing to consider, all ends and all points, then you may find that:
0
1 - x = 1 - x
((1 - x) ^ (x - 1)) + 1 = f(1 - x) + 1

That you may happen to live in the part that is f(1 - x) and anything else is irrelevant

You are given a set number of years to live. Although your life’s impact on the universe will be meaningless, it doesn’t matter. Take advantage of your life on the universe and enjoy it as much as you can.
