Feeling that everything is a waste of time? You're probably right. With these insights you can give up effortlessly.
1. A million years from now, there will be no documentation that you have ever existed
The truth is that within a few decades of your death, you will no longer exist in the memory of anyone else. In a hundred years, almost no documentation of you will survive and in a million years, nothing in terms of the universe’s age, de facto you never have existed
2. The human is a stupid animal
Humans, known mostly by their scientific nicknames Homo sapiens sapiens, are animals walking on two that believe until their last day to everything that will be told to them enough times in the first years of their life.
Dogs, for example, or cockroaches, do not fall captive to brainwashing, making them automatically superior to the sapiens.
3. Nothing will happen if you do nothing
In general, nothing happens if nothing happens (except at the quantum level, but that is the subject of another lack of motivation article).
It’s a matter of simple logic.
4. If it is not broken - do not repair it
You can fight any motivational quote. For example the well-known saying by Thomas Jefferson:
I’m a Great Believer in Luck. The Harder I Work, the More Luck I Have
So please know that the fortunes of former President Jefferson ended when he died in 1826 of rheumatism, intestinal and urinary problems, when he was in debt.
5. Actually doing something can be very tiring
The cemeteries are full of motivated people who took advantage of every second of their lives and did something for themselves and for humanity. Many of them got so tired that within a few decades their heart just couldn’t stand it anymore.
Do not say that we didn’t warn you.
6. The chance of being run over by a truck drops miraculously in inaction
It doesn’t matter if you drink or do not drink 4 glasses of water a day, your chances of being run over by a truck of any size will drop miraculously if you just stay home and never try anything.
7. Give up is very 2020
The field of giving up has improved miraculously in the last twenty years with the rise of the “I’m entitled” generation and reached its peak in 2020 in the corona crisis when even less can be done than actually we planned.
