A common thought finally hit me today must be getting that age. The thought pop out in my end randomly today, that everything we do is really just an excuse to keep our minds busy for our inevitable end.

We create all this distraction from hobbies, jobs, family, technology, entertainment, science and religion to keep our minds occupied. We invented money to buy us more time to be occupied.

It is like the whole thing is just a fidget spinner.

Curious how you approach this?

    everything we do is really just an excuse to keep our minds busy for our inevitable end.

    Everything ends eventually. The point is to find joy in the moments you have, it’s only really a distraction from boredom. You either do something or you don’t, but no matter what we’re all heading towards our end. Dwelling on it not only serves very little purpose, but it can actively take time away that you could have otherwise been enjoying.
