I Have Random Thoughts

I don't know if I am too intelligent or too foolish to not believe in what people usually believe in. I cannot fool myself to believe in something. I try to have faith and I get that faith for like two or three days but then it seems bullshit. Is futility the truth and nihilism the path? Detachment is definitely peace. That is probably the only thing I can always consider to be the truth because be it any religion or any spiritual leader or any knowledgeable person they would say the same thing. Attachment causes pain for sure. So then maybe to get detached is the aim of life. But then why would you do anything if you were detached? Do you do something without caring about results at all? Then what is the point of studying, socializing, etc. when your aim is to get detached? People would say it is to create facilities for those who would later have the leisure time to explore the truth themselves.

When your own internal organs are not run by you. When your own mind is not run by you. When your own heart guides you like it is some other voice then how can you claim yourself to be what you look like. You are not your body or your mind or your heart or anything because if you were you could control it on your own will. You are just a tiny observer, like me, hiding inside this body. Is that a good thing? Surely that's a relief because now you don't have to care about what people think about your mind or your body. Your mind is like a sponge which absorbs whatever it likes or impressed by or fears and does not absorb whatever is boring or repelling by nature.

I would hope that this world stops all the activity and walk hand in hand towards extinction. Just because we can do something we do it without a well defined purpose without thinking of its effects on the earth. Animals would be better off without us. We would be better off without us. Since we are observers maybe we would just lose our body and not us and maybe become something more contributing towards nature.

I don't know what I am doing just like everyone else with just a minor difference that I am at least aware of the fact that I am not aware of what I will actually achieve after whatever it is that I am doing. Maybe that is why detachment is peace. That is our nature. To be a detached observer.

Sad I could only heart it once.
