Go Defy Death

Regrets are as pointless as mistakenly believing you have free will.

They both assume that there is an alternative to the one timeline that there is. Time is linear. It isn't circular. It isn't parallel. Time travel is impossible since time doesn't exist. Since there is only one way something could have happened, choice is irrelevant and there is no point in regretting anything. There is only one way it possibly could happen anyway; the way it does.

For that matter, there is no fate or destiny. Get over yourself and go make things happen, just don't believe there might have been any alternative to what happens.

Does it sound impossible for me to believe at the same time that there is no destiny and also no free will? Chalk it up to: Paradox.

Carpe Diem, Baby. Death doesn't make life pointless, it gives it its only point.

Go defy death today.

How many mundane decisions in your life may actually have been a critical life-saving decision? How many times your heart continued to beat strictly as a result of a decision to bend down and pick up that dime on the sidewalk?
