Anything you work your ass off to acquire is just something else that will be taken away from you, whether it be stolen, lost, forgotten, or you die. Nothing lasts forever. We all decay, we all turn to dirt.
If you made millions of dollars and saved thousands of lives, in a few hundred years from now you'll be the same dirt as me. Me and the bums and the rapers. Your dirt won't be shinier, it won't be more fruitful. You'll be dead, you'll be dirt. You'll be forgotten.
My father used to "rest his eyes" when he drove. I'd yell at him all the time for sleeping behind the wheel, but he said he was just "resting his eyes". It got to the point when I didn't care. It got to the point where I respected him for it. Because that's the best way to go through life.
Resting you're eyes go 70 miles an hour down a highway. Resting your eyes while the car in front of you stops. Resting your eyes as the two cars collide. Resting you're eyes while flames fly, babies scream, and you're family burns alive. Charred. Dead. Dirt. Resting your eyes when everyone will say it was you're fault. Rest you're eyes and you won't care.
Notebook the movie was shit. Caring and love aren't the ultimate goal. Some say the meaning of life is to find the person you love, to help others, to fuck the hottest girl. No. That's not what life is about.
The meaning of life is the journey. What you learn, what stays with you.
But Nothing really stays with you. Life is a one way ticket to death. A one way ticket to dirt.
We all die. We all lose everything we cared about. We all become dirt. Don't care about anything, and for Christ's sake don't love. It will never last. We all become dirt. So. Rest your eyes.
