In the grand scheme of things nothing really matters. It doesn't matter if you overslept. If you forgot to take the rubbish out, someone tells you you're a dimwit or you forget to make that apointment with the dentist. If you've forgotten these things the following things might occur:
1) You oversleep. You miss the bus, hence turn up late for work. People (and perhaps your boss) get annoyed, and so you apologize. You feel a little guilty and embarrassed. End of.
2) You forget to take the bin bags out. You come home from work and your flats smells like rubbish, funnily enough. You get pissed off with yourself, open a window to let some fresh air in and take a walk outside with the bags. End of.
3) Someone tells you you're a dimwit. You get upset. Hurt. You might answer back. Get into a fight. Or pretend you don't care and go home and have a little weep. Tell your mates what an idiot the person is. And in a few days you've forgotten the whole thing and moved on with life. End of.
4) You forget to book a dental apointment. Your tooth starts hurting even more, eventually you end up in the A&E, they send you to the dentist dept, you end up paying shit loads more than you would've have than if you made that phone call in the first place. End of.
Yes, yes, yes... You get my point, I'm sure. And this "nothing really matters"-policy could be applied on most things in life. I read somewhere that "everything will be fine in the end. If it isn't fine, it's not the end". It's true.
So my question is. If it doesn't matter - why do I care so much about it?
