when the going gets tough

Sometimes when the going gets tough I like to remember that nothing that you do here on earth truly matters. Everyone is going to die it is a fact of life and once you die the earth keeps going, it doesn't stop for me, you or anyone or anything for that matter and soon nobody will ever know you existed. As dark as this post may seem to some, its truly not. Or maybe it is, but nothing matters. Say for instance I wanted to be a person who throws pennies off a tree for the rest of my life who's to say that isn't a good way to spend your life? Society as we know it was completely made up by humans. We are taught that we must get a good job, go to college, have a family, live happily ever after, and if you don't accomplish this in your life there is a negative stigma. But, why? In the end no matter what we do in life, whether you are a lawyer, a billionaire, a stripper, a beekeeper, whatever, we all collectively come to an end the same way. We die.
