Spewpewpew

So through recent conversations with many random people, I have come to a few conclusions.

Imagine going to a junkyard and removing three thousand random gears from random vehicles.
Then you throw them into a pile.
They magically all fit together exactly as you threw them in and start to turn.

That is just about how everything works. Reality is one, enormous accident, and one should live accordingly. Everything is the way it is due to chemical reactions, and everything continues to be just that. Human interaction can be broken down to chemical reactions, and still, everything is a giant accident and there is no control over any aspect of one's life. We live like this because single celled organisms evolved, an incredibly long time ago at that, and there is no greater scheme or 'master plan' for any of this. It all just happened to come out this way.

Accordingly, there is only one thing that anybody can really control about any situation, and that is how one reacts to given circumstances. The only thing you can truly control about your life is the way you react to the things that are thrown at you, not even necessarily what you do about them, but how you feel about them in that very moment and what your immediate reaction is. Given that, if one just attempts to control reactions and realize that everything will be good some day, that is the first step to being just fine with everything.

Just a thought.

I really like this picture.
