What can the world possibly want from me

[Naer]

I srs don't know any kind of input that would be of value to the world regarding the big picture. Seems things unfold as they do and im generally powerless in the grand scheme of things. I don't matter at all. Existence shall reach nothingness eventually. You or I can't change that axiomatic fact.

Stay strong man you'll eventually find your place in this world. Most of us will never make world changing ideas we just do our part....

Don't sweat it bro. As far as I can tell there is no point if you go out and make a difference as in a good way. You'll just be helping the human virus swallow the earth. If you go out there doing the opposite well your just an asshole like hitler. Cheers.

I think the flaw in that thinking is that if you aren't changing the "big picture", then you don't matter. You change what you are in a position to change. If you help one person do one thing, that refutes being powerless. I hate clichés but one that holds true is attributed to Gandhi - "Be the change you want to see in the world." Do something for someone. You can change a life and you don't know how many lives that will impact over time.

I have found that if you spend time doing things for others, you naturally will be around other people who do the same thing. And those people will help you as well - that's how they're wired.

If you need to make a difference go hit on a fat chick and rock her world. She'll never forget you and it sounds like you could stand to get laid too.

The problem is trying to look at the big picture is too broad to see the effects of things. Start small and consider what your actions may lead to. A good tip for a waiter/waitress could be helping feed their family.

If you spend all your time worrying about things you can't change, then you'll also miss the opportunities to help the things you CAN change.

You're right; you don't matter at all.
We're all insignificant; make your own purpose.

Go out and explore. Try not to affect others negatively, enjoy...

The "Big Picture" is mostly a mosaic of billions of little pictures.

Make you section of the mosaic as good as you can, and don't stress about the parts that you can't touch.

The world doesn't want anything from you. The world doesn't want anything from anyone. We all arrived here simply because our dad's got lucky one night. A little too lucky.

You have to come to terms with the fact that your purpose may simply be to serve as a warning to others.

In the grand scheme of things, what we do only has a small effect. If you're a teacher, you'll effect the children you taught. If you owned a small business, the people who'll remember you are only the ones who went into your store. Etc...

When they pull back the history books 500 years from now they'll talk about Musk, Jobs, Jordsn, Lebron, James, Gates, Zuckenberg, and Bezos. Etc... Me and you? Pftt.. please.

Let me ask you this? Can you name a common man/woman from Julus Caesar's time? Of course not. Only the greats are remembered.

Life doesn't owe you anything. Take it day by day. That's all we can do.

OP: study the butterfly effect then go out and help others.

That's true, she'll never forget you. She'll text you, call you, sit in her car outside your house, show up at your work...

Go to school and learn something? There are grants and scholarships. I'm sure you'd qualify for a few. Never been to college myself, but have been looking over the computer offerings at my local community college. Point is, become and do something productive and not be nothing at all.

Thread is worthless without a vid.

The one about 10 years ago did that. She also went for my friends to get to me a few years later to tell me she gave my baby up for adoption. It was all one big lie to get to me, she went back away. I saw her this summer at a wendys with a dude and kids. She glared at me with a twinkle of murder in her eye but ignored me, life goes on.

Thats one out of a few, don't be a pussy keep life interesting.
