Just a thought on your thoughts: if nothing really matters isn't it that like saying that everything matters (the same, and therefore also, a LOT)?
...or perhaps that an alternative to the Universe doesn't care is that it does intimately care about absolutely everything, deeply and to the level of a blade of grass or the deepest shame/pain experienced by any Being?
Perception, creativity, opinion, concepts etc may be ways of slicing and dicing a unified whole into the illusion of separate parts.
It's a dance :)
I agree that there is huge and pivotal value in those opinion. Besides our self worth and inspiration to live a good life, the real value we have is to positively effect the universe.
We make it matter and that is our superpower!
I agree. Feelings/emotions matters, and are the most important things. We (both humans, animals and every living being) and our feelings/emotions are eternal. There is no time. No past, no future. Just/only the present and the eternity. So there is infinite time.
Absolutely sage words!
It may seem redundant to keep cycling this sentiment but we often need reminders and encouragement to live in the present. While our time spent as this particular combination of...particles, is incredibly finite, may our impact positively echo into infinity.
