    Everyone you ever met and knew in your life will eventually die. All of the things you had eventually will break or wear down after you are gone. Even a statue degrades and erodes to the wind, sand and water. There will eventually no trace of your existence on this planet and to really send it all home to you, eventually when the sun turns into a red giant it will consume the earth wiping out all of human history or anything you might have “left behind.”

    Just enjoy the ride folks. We are here for a limited time. Try not to stress, do things you love and try not to be a dick to others in the process. You only get one chance to do this and today is the best day to start doing it right.

      Wait, why stop here? After that, the universe will continue to expand and get colder until the Big Freeze.

      Be happy you can actually see the universe. Some aliens in a distant future might never be aware that there’s something else, because light will be shifted so far it’s impossible to understand. There will be less and less stars anyway, so it’s going to be a lot darker.

      Maybe protons aren’t actually stable and they will break apart too, at some point, and then the last thing will be black holes slowly dissolving due to Hawking radiation.

      Yeah also, they’re overlooking the fact that, while caused by chemicals, the feelings are still real and have value. Don’t believe me? Cut off your own hand and tell me how that feels

      You ending on a very positive note is kind of surprising to me and doesn’t fit the intro. How does it matter „you only get one chance to do it right“? Even if you had a thousand chances, the outcome would not change. Not saying you’re wrong, but there’s a disconnect for me between your starting point and the end of your argument. You start with doomsday and end on the new Barbie movie.
