Everything is temporary. Pleasure fades. Work repeats. Status disappears. Death equalizes all. Wisdom itself feels futile because nothing lasts. Meaning feels fragile and unresolved. Worldly life is fleeting. Wealth, power, and comparison are distractions. Human striving for permanence here on earth is misguided. Death dissolves illusion. This life was never meant to carry ultimate meaning. The feeling of futility comes from treating the temporary as ultimate. Comparison to others is essentially pointless. A moral error. No human is inherently superior. Nothing here lasts, and that troubles us. Nothing here lasts, and that is the point. Life is a test of your character and soul, not a final product. Consciousness exists to recognize wisdom and reality, not to accumulate permanence.
