RE: Something from Nothing: Procrastination. Idealism. Nihilism.
I liked the insight about how procrastination is a form of idealism, that makes sense to me. I'm not a nihlist though. It is true we are finite beings. We try to make a "legacy" to be remembered, some do anyway. There is a lot of stress in this endeavor as most people never reach in their mind's eye what they feel is a satisfactory memory of themselves. However if we dispose of the procrastination perhaps our chances to fulfill this are greater as we allocate more time to the task of building our memory. Is this realistic or possible? I've seen it happen. There are people that pass away happy without regret. So it is possible.
There's so much in these few sentences. Creating a memory or a lasting impression that accords with your own mental image. It's the eternal battle of fighting your own specters. Hoping that you can at least make a mark in the geological record, be a little quartz in the stone of time.
Ohh I love this so much thank you dirge, your words have left their mark.
