After lying in bed for countless nights wondering why I do what I do, and what my meaning in this world is, I remembered I had a quote on my computer from this video and decided to revisit it -



I watched it over and over and instantly was consumed by the truth, realising that this is the truth behind the human race and planet earth. I'm in no place to change what you think and why you think that, but I would just like hear the community opinion on this issue.
What do you think our meaning in this world is? Do you ever stop to think about it? Is there something we can do to change it?

These videos really can make you feel nihilistic.

Such an amazing video, this video makes you realize how much could change by doing something, but we can't change something alone so it ends up being pointless.. :/
There will always be people who agree with videos like these but never actually end up doing something about it. :tdown:

As it says in the video, us as humans are strong because we work together. To make a change we must work together, however most people are trapped in this way of life.

I didn't watch the entire video but it seems pretty pretentious to me.

I think one of the things that comes with maturing/growing up is coming to terms with the way the world is and the power structures that exist within it. You can complain all you want that things aren't fair and that society is messed up, but there's nothing any of us can actually do about it. You know what happened when people did do something about it and tried to create a fair and equal society? The Soviet Union happened. Evil people exist, and they always will, and they will always try and hijack anything and use it for their own personal gain. Until evil people do not exist (which will be never) the world will never be a happy place for everyone and really the only thing you can do is accept that and try to live your own life as best you personally can.

In my opinion, adults find it harder to stand up for what they truly believe in. As you become older, you become less free not only physically, but mentally and in your thoughts; you get trapped in a certain way of life which you struggle to change. I'll leave you with this speech from a great movie named 'V for Vendetta':
V said:
Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

I love that kind of videos.

But the way the video is made, is to make you think that our present is bad.
Maybe it isnt? Maybe our present is better than the past?
I mean, the scientists have reached an unbelievable levels in the medicine.
Our technology is great, most of us are having FUN of it.
If you think it isnt good, why most of the world still uses it?
This video is trying to tell us to make a change. Before you start saying that we need a change, answer these questions- What kind of change do we want? do we really want a change? Do we hate our world as it now?

I dont think that there is a purpose in human's life. not in any period.
Could you find your life a puprpose 5000 years ago? I dont think so. There isnt an aim for our life. The aim is what you set to yourself.
Do you wanna live in a big house? be educational and all those kind of stuff? Or you prefer a small house or live in the jungles idk.

Dont get me wrong. I am not against this video, and I am not with it.
I just dont understand what kind of change do we want to make.
