Sometimes, we feel like everything revolves around us—our problems, successes, failures, gestures, or even our moments of shame. I’m not sure how humans evolved to constantly seek validation and appreciation. At times, I catch myself seeking validation even from AI.
The truth is, we’re important to some, but at the same time, we’re important to no one. I’m about 50-60% convinced of this, and I’m working on fully accepting it. Sometimes, I fall off the balance. Reading Kafka’s Metamorphosis and going through some life experiences probably helped me get to this point.
Everyone is replaceable, and eventually, we’ll all be forgotten. Yet, we still matter in the grand scheme of the universe like a speck of dust or a ripple causing the butterfly effect. Call it karma or whatever you like.
It’s hard to explain, but it’s about being attached to everything while staying detached from the self. I am not sure if I am making sense here. It’s liberating to realize we’re not the center of the universe. But accepting this takes time. Just like understanding that the sun doesn’t revolve around us, but it’s still essential for life.
Cheers!
