This movie had no soundtrack which also made this film unsettling for me. Spooky, how authentic it was

I think we see during war times just how many latent psychopaths we have amongst us.
I think a lot of people are fine with making others suffer or die when they gain something for it (status, survival, money).
But I also think a lot of humans are lost. They don't see themselves as being valuable and unique, and they don't look at themselves and like what is inside.
Science also tells everyone they are pointless pieces of dust, and it's easy to believe that unless you have your own intuition about it.
I've heard that last paragraph so many times and I can't describe the pain I get in my eyes from them rolling so far back in my head.
Typically this shit comes from theists who can only find meaning in life if it comes in the form of some dusty old book written by unknown people some 2000 years ago.
Theism tells people their lives only matter to serve some made up deity for the hope of some eternal peace after they die. It's a socially acceptable cult praying on people who are lost, think they hold no self worth, or can't handle the existential terror of death.
You don't need theism to have meaning in life. The meaning of your life is the one you give to yourself, bereft of any outside influences. Nobody's life should be beholden to anyone else's standards or expectations.
We're all pointless. This life is all we get. Don't waste it trying to find some grandiose meaning. Just live it.
We are not pointless at all, and I'm sorry you feel that way. What I wrote has nothing to do with theism or deitys or cults. :)
