COVID Anti-Matter

In modern physics, Anti-Matter is defined as matter that is composed of the antiparticles of the corresponding particles of "ordinary" matter.

There are many other philosophies than Nihilism and each individual have their own world view. A person might chose to live his life being oblivious to the fact that nothing really matters and try to waste his effort constructing a meaning like “living the moment” or “be happy” even though you can just counter it with saying 'still doesn't matter.’

Point and case is that everyone have their own perspective. Existentialism, Pessimism, Absurdism, Realism, Optimism, etc... So there is no 'we’, not everyone tries to make sense out of nothing. There are some people that have already accepted the fact, and some continues to ignore it.

Some even say “nothing matters” as an exaggeration when feeling very miserable and depressed. They may or may not mean that, whether or not how many times this problem occurs for them.

Purpose, time, health, and loved ones. These are truly the things that make us richer and make life more complete. What matters is Life is the anti-entropy. Living things building a useful structure in the universe out of the decay of physical matter.

Species that persist will develop symbiotically (fit) with their environment and add more to it than they take from it. Those that don't will eventually go extinct. Humans isolate themselves from the real environment with civilization and then wonder why their lives don't make sense.

Does anything really matter? It depends on what one means by “matters”. Your daily life involves a great deal that allows and sometimes requires us to make decisions and act or decline to act in ways that will have real consequences for us and others.

Life isn’t easy to begin with, and if one does not attend to one’s affairs in this sense one may expect things to go downhill. This is the human condition.

The human condition ceases for us when we die, essentially leaving no trace. Many believe that nothing follows. Our existence is over. (Humanity will continue to exist for an indefinite period of time, but humanity is an abstraction. We’re not.)

In this sense your life is an infinitesimal spark that blinks out forever in a void of nonexistence. And, in this sense, nothing “really matters” unless you embrace, as many also do, some idea of transcendence, by which I mean another “world”, incomprehensible but real, in which the individual experiences redemption and salvation. These are religious terms of course.

Nothing matters, at least not to the universe itself. This infinitely vast, very old Existence responds only to its laws of chemistry and physics and the outcomes of infinite collisions of the atoms and molecules that inhabit is space-time environs.

However, strangely enough, out of these myriad random collisions came that which knew the meaning of what matters?.

Now, think about what happened for you to be here and be able to ask such a question. Think about the infinities of size, the eons of time, the exponential number of random collisions that it took for you to be here.

In some ways what you do in the end doesn't matter. You are right, this world will end when the sun disappears. But, think of your life right now and the lives of every other human being that are surviving just like you. Many of these people suffer every day due to the world we have created and continue to sustain.

This is the day and age where we really have an option to eradicate world hunger and poverty. But, humankind is lazy and doesn't want to get out of bed collectively to go to work.

At the end of the day it is your choice to waste this precious life you have or to live to its fullest potential, big or small. We all have a part to play... Are you going to call in sick? Or are you going to help us survive longer, and beat this pandemic? It's your choice…
