What's the alternative? Turn into an Emo kid sitting in our room belly-aching about how pathetic we as humans are...yet unable to do anything about it?
There are thousands of people out there who realize what the true meaning of what uselessness is - I call them bums. They blame everyone and everything and take no responsibility for themselves, wasting away in squalor thinking that "nothing matters" and then wither into nothingness digging in my trash as their mind turns to mush.
You are right. We as humans are a speck of dust on the microscope of reality. We serve a purpose of jack and squat on the big scheme of existence. But what separates us from the fungus and the insects is that we can at least keep ourselves occupied for a short amount of time during our useless existence with something that gives fruition to that which is "us".
Some decide to kill or pillage or love or build or destroy or hate or move around or sit still.....Either way, all any of us are doing is wasting time until the inevitable happens - We die...Hopefully with a sense of completion that we made an impact on this world, in a fleeting thought that it might have some kind of merit on something some of us call an afterlife. Because, without something to look forward to, we would all be sitting still.
