Nihilism.

Nihilism in Sailor had a more profound effect in me, given that I myself have been nihilistic before. It isn't unreasonable to see younger children question the purpose of life nowdays, I guess that's why I didn't like sailor much. Everything that Noburu thought was something that I myself have pondered; aside from his voyeuristic tendancies and his cat trials. Reading the book was like reflecting on past thoughts, which was surreal and a tad bit repetitive. Birth, education, jobs, wealth, all seem to lead to the inevitable event of death, the event at which everyone ultimately becomes equal. I guess that the temporary nature of life and it's events is what truly makes life beautiful. Perhaps that it is this reasoning; the need to live in the moment, is what sets me apart from Noburu, someone who I all too much recognize as being a younger, more bold me. The fact that everything is in constant change, constant motion, is what truly quantifies life as worth living. I guess that's why I love change so much, because If I didn't, perhaps I would've killed a sailor of my own, haha. Attached is a picture of everything that has ever happened in your life, in a pale blue dot. It's Earth. How insignificant. : )
