This week's episode of The Orville depressed me something awful:

It was about the characters (who live over 400 years in the future) finding a time capsule from 2015 and someone's phone just happened to be in there. The person in question was a woman named Laura and one of the people on the ship fell in love with her via virtual reality simulations but at the end of the day, it all totally failed because she's been dead for so long.

You know what that episode made me think:Life is just meaningless. What's the point of it all. We will all die someday, centuries later nobody will even remember we existed at one point.

Everything disappears and fades away like dust in the wind. Our entire existence will mean nothing to the future, everyone will someday be forgotten.

If everything we've ever done, every word we've ever spoken, every thing we've created, will someday just disappear. What is life but just a pointless cycle of nonsense.
