    There is no meaning. There is no punchline. You go until you stop, then you disperse back into the cycle of life and death never to be the same again.

    This is true, but these type of statements are often formed as though the “you” is the first step. It misses something important. All of us are made of borrowed stuff. The water in our blood was some other animal’s piss at one point. The skin we’re so proud of were many times over leaves, dirt, shit, creatures, bacteria, algae, decaying carcass, pond scum, and then leaves a bunch more times. Each one of us are not the beginning of this, and we not the end either. If you want to go back even further, we’re all made up of the same smashed together hydrogen atoms that make up the ground we walk on and the surface of the sun.

    To think we are chosen or individually superior to others is pure hubris.

    So respect the lives around you, refuse to add suffering to others, give everyone a chance to experience happiness in life where you can help.

    This so much!
