Do you know people who keep pointing out nothing truly matters in the big scheme of things? Because we all die anyway? Nothing really matters anyway whether or not one votes, demonstrates, takes action, even run for office or find other ways to serve others, yes? What does it matter what happens in government and in business and with our families when civilizations rise and fall anyway? Wars, peace, and pandemics ebb and flow, right? Religious and political belief systems come and go, OK? Things change all the time and then again they remain the same, yes? In the big scheme of things the entire universe, heck, the multiverse will eventually come to an end, so we’ve been told. Perhaps the Afterlife itself isn’t as infinite or as eternal as we’ve been taught? So what does anything matter, really? Perhaps some of these “enlightened” folks are dear friends and beloved family members.
Here’s a different perspective next time such cerebral people dismiss the value of voting for everchanging politicians or why concern one’s self with climate change, nuclear war, the AI singularity, giant asteroids, rapacious extraterrestrials, or prepping for disasters or marching in the streets to rally for a cause: It does matter. It matters. They all matter.
It certainly does matter!
It matters to me!
