Remember that I'm going to die
Why would I get anything done then? When I'm dead idgaf.
Can't tell if you're joking, but to me this line of reasoning (which I've also subscribed to in the past) is kind of like saying "what's the point in choosing to eat this delicious food over this gross food, when by tomorrow I won't be tasting either of them anyways?"
I'm not kidding and I've been (literally) dead. So yeah, I didn't care much about anything at that time.
What I'm getting at is that is not related. You're right you should try to get most out of life you can and treating yourself and others well. But as a motivation the perspective of life ending in general does not matter (to me) at all.
Yeah this has the opposite effect on me.
Sometimes does for me too, but I think on those days the truth was I was too depressed to do anything anyways. Sometimes its just time for a day of rest. If I find myself feeling that way then I know its time to have a chill day
I try to see my eventual death as a good thing. The impermanence of all things helps make sure that the universe and all its particulars (like humanity) continually have the opportunity to reinvent themselves. It's like the ultimate failsafe against our world becoming locked into some kind of permanent hellish state. There's always the moments of instability caused when elements decay and vanish.
Of course its silly to try to pretend like there's nothing sad or bad about death either. But I can think about it as a hard sacrifice that I'm ultimately happy to make. There are other reasons too but this is the one on my mind today.
Yeah, but you got to witness the demonically destructive decline of society in real time tho, that's something.
