As the saying goes all is vanity. When it comes down to it, there is no ultimate purpose to life.

No matter what I do, or don’t do. No matter what I say, or don’t say. In the end you can’t escape thermodynamics. The fate of the universe is predetermined, we will reach a state of total entropy – the heat death of the universe.

If I was to take an M4A1 and work my way down that “list” of people until the police caught up with me, the universe will end up the same.

If I was to become the top musician in the world and discover my music holds the key to world peace and ultimate truth, the universe will end up the same.

Ultimately all our deeds, all our works…. even all our descendants will be wiped from the pages of the universe. It will be as if they never happened. There is no final judgement, no weighing and measuring, just a vast expanse of nothing.

Our afterlife will not be some kind of paradise or torture, determined by what we did or didn’t do, or what we thought or believed.

Our afterlife is decay. Our afterlife is entropy.

So….

Why?

What is the point if there is no point?

Resisting entropy is futile, so why do we?

If we are all on a path to nowhere, why do we keep walking?
