Nothing

I converesed with Miss Threepwood yesterday about how everything's nothing. Which isn't really a new thought but still interesting. Really, if you think about "life" and all the stuff we do and the things around us, they are all essentially nothings. Then what's the point, right? No wonder lots of ppl are depressed, hehe....
The only thing that is something is us. Well, all living things, but especially humans cause we're the ones that live materilalisticly. The non-humans have a much better life cause they live as/is and when it's compromised it's the humans fault.
Anyways, point is, the nothings become somethings because of us or they won't have any purpose. Like when you watch sports you realise that they're doing nothing, theres no point to the game itself but it brings ppl together, makes ppl happy, bla bla bla whatever.... basically it wouldn't mean anything without ppl right?!
Thats why they say "appreciate the small things in life" they are usually what brings you most happiness after all. For ex; sitting and talking with your friends, at the end, is the best way to spend time with each other and it's the simplest kind. Just like birthdays, every year I want to do something special, better than the last, but I always end up just hanging out with friends/family and everyobe has a great time. If we spent to much effort making an event for every single thing, when would we enjoy it. Just like breakfast this morning, simple toast with some butter, is there anything better?! Or doing the laundry, a chore at first, but you'd appreciate those hours in the laundry room where you can spend sometime alone and ponder bout things. List your favorite things, past times, I bet they're all the simplest and mundane things.

Howdy!

I thought I should post a comment in your wonderful, beautiful blog.

I think that people are depressed about the nothingness in the world because they can't take it for what it is. Maybe they think that the world is alive and has some direct effect on our lives, but it's the total opposite. I think that the world is here for us to affect. Alltså, we make decisions based on how we perceive the world, and the world, in return, does not have a say in it because of the simple fact that the world can't think. We affect the world and we turn it into what it is/becomes and we are to blame/thank for how the nothingness becomes something - something for us personally.
(I'm pretty sure I'm contradicing myself, but hey, who's intelligent enough to care!?)

Das ist Genug (det är nog) for now.

See you!
