My Take On How To Save Suffering

Just stand still for a moment. Just think where you came from, what you're made of. Just realize that all that makes up you (except for your experiences, feelings and other mind controlled things) already existed in some form. We exist out of stuff that was once apart, and now just for one moment, makes up you. And while I typed this, or you read this, parts of you already got separated from you and became once again a part on its own. We're dying, surviving and living at the same time constantly.

Try to think big. Try to realize that was makes up the centre of this Universe for you, is you. You are in the middle, because everywhere you see is all Universe around you.

Try to realize how much nothing you are compared to the completeness of things around you. In the scheme of things, you don't matter. Your life doesn't matter. You got born, you lived, celebrated and suffered and then you died. In the end, it really doesn't matter.

So, does that mean the suffering of others doesn't matter? Or the suffering of animals? Or us justifying the suffering cause we're trying to survive? I really believe it doesn't; it only sucks.

I don't believe I will get a reward or award for good living after I died. I don't believe Obama will take his Nobel Prize with him after he died. I don't believe a criminals bad deeds will follow him into death. I believe our bodies will fall apart and become new pieces of reality. I believe long after the body has been reinvented into new objects and lifeforms, our souls will have passed into history without pain, without memories. Nothing will be left of us.

The suffering we're experiencing or witnessing is one of this moment. Should we stand back and avert our eyes? Should we step up and risk our own survival? In this whole world there are no species who believes that. And still that is what we're saying right now, while on the other hand we're still killing animals with deseases to save our own sorry asses.

I think a little more respect for life, but also for death would be in order. It probably won't save our lives or those of animals, but it will help earth recover better till the Universe consumes us all.
