The fact that the universe isn't capable of giving a fuck one way or the other is immensely invigorating to me. It means it's all up to me. There's no god or go

The fact that the universe isn't capable of giving a fuck one way or the other is immensely invigorating to me. It means it's all up to me. There's no god or gods with their thumbs on the scale one way or the other.
(Life doesn't have to be fair for your outcomes to be all up to you, by the way. You're dealt a hand of cards, and you can play them well or you can play them poorly.)
- grugagag 2y agoWell, the configuration of thumbs on the scale is set when you’re born. You could be born in a poor/rich family, healthy/disfunctional family/country, you are inheriting some generic material that may play well or not in the environment where you grow up and so on. Yes, some of it is up to you later on in life but getting there in the first place is not a given.
- FredPret 2y agoThat's exactly what I said. How you play your cards is up to you, and how you feel about it is also up to you.
- harimau777 2y agoThat only helps if playing your cards well is enough to be successful. For many people it isn't.
