I have some really bad news for you: You aren’t special.
The world will not stop turning should you die. A few people, perhaps a few thousand, may miss you, but you don’t count in the bigger scheme of things.
Too often people are led to believe that they are special: That they are owed something by the world; that life owes them something.
It could be that someone told them that they are special; it could be self-deceit; it could be that they achieved something special. But they are not special; no-one is.
Let me illustrate with an example: That of Helen Keller.
Many people will now be too pissed off to continue reading and that’s fine. The truth sometimes hurts. Helen Keller was not special.
She was def and blind and, during the era in which she lived, disabled people were mostly seen as a drain on society. What she did was special. She overcame her disability and she did the people around her much good, but she wasn’t special. The day she passed on, the world did not stop turning. If she did not do and achieved special things, nobody would have remembered her today.
If you go through life with the idea that the world Oes you something, forget it now. You will be seen by some people as a leach or a beggar; someone who always stands with an open hand to just receive what comes to their side without giving a crap for the people around you. You will have very few friends, because you will never be happy — no matter where you go or what you do and achieve, because they will get nothing from the world and you will keep expecting that elusive “something”.
Why? Because you are not special and life does not owe you anything.
