Existance

OMG! I have a project due Friday that deals with the Scarlet Letter and I'm not so happy about it but at least we get to choose who we want to do the project on. Sin is everywhere but its limited to media and past historical event. Mines is Dan White, the man who murdered Harvey Milk, the first elected openly gay government official, and some other guy. Finished chapter 5 of "Country of the Forgotten" yesterday so now I need to think about what happens in chapter 6. Calculus, boring as hell. History, eh, not that bad since we're talking about Frederick Douglass, whose book didn't put me to sleep =D Accel on the other hand is, yet again, a complete waste of my time. Borrowed a book that looks promising titled "Making Gay History" and it seems a lot funnier when you switch the last two words but then it would be an entirely new book.

Existance is what changes the future entirely. One exsistance makes a big difference though no body sees it as one. Those who are sucidal think that way and so do those who go cast their votes for something. It makes a big difference though because if the person never existed and watched the world unfold, they would see the major changes in society that would have never been possible when they did exist. I.E. a person who provoked peace during a time of war is powerful because if they were to vanish from their time zone and placed in a new one, the future would either be ruled by someone dastardly evil or in complete ruins in an on going war.

I've thought about never existing now and then. I've thought about the consequences that follows not doing so because it is portrayed so easily within stories since the idea is reletively a not so broad topic. I did rationalize it slightly so that it is more believable to my own senses. Supposing I never existed, the future would be different and some group of friends would never integrate with each other. There would be someone along the road to do that as my replacement but that person isn't who I am. So evidently, some of the actions that I have caused will be caused by this substitute but only a few actions though. All the others will either be performed by other people or all knowledge of its existance has disappeared.

My rational is logical to some extent because it is impossible to prove since all known factors would have to applied to a person's life along with a substitute. To do such an examination is not even possible but there is a very small chance it is. I don't know many results will come out but I suppose that is why virtual reality exists.

What will the future look like should I cease to exist? What will the future look like if I never existed at all?

Life is like a river that flows on forever and ever in the world. The way it bends to and fro, dropping life where ever it goes makes me wonder sometimes whether we were placed here for a purpose. Like water, life neither brings life nor takes life away, it is nothing but mere medium which does both. It is the essence of life that allows to live for the future that we wish for and can achieve. Life is our existance and forever we are chained to its eb and flow.
