    My friends young girl was almost abducted yesterday in the town where he lives. That's terrible. But do you know what's even more terrible? The 86 statuses he's put up in 16 hours fishing for more attention. If he spent as much time looking after his girl as he did on Facebook the incident would never have occurred.

Same with the guy who invented electricity, look at the way he's changed billions of lives for the better.

      Editing … Everybody is valued by somebody. If your mom died would you be upset? Of course, she's valuable to you. The thing is that everyone is different. People who changed humanity ARE more important, it's about accepting your place, you're not equal. Is Einstein smarter than you? Yes. Can Usain Bolt run faster than you? Yes. Can Haftjor Bjornsson pick up more than you? Yes. So why do people believe they're equal? If I were Neymars equal I'd e earning half a million a week kicking a bag of wind. Going right back to the beginning, my mate was given a platform and used it to seek attention. Others use the same platform to help sick animals, or to try change something for the better. Everybody has values, and everybody is important to somebody. I read somewhere about a guy that made his medical research public so the whole world would benefit instead of just pharmaceutical companies, he's more valuable/important than me, abso-fucking-lutely!!

Just because you see these "achievements" as valuable doesn't mean they are of merit to everyone. These molesters and whatnot that you place of lower status all have families too. They would place their lives of higher value. But they aren't. Every one of them has no meaning. Your belief that certain people hold more value is exactly what I was bemoaning about social media. You are telling people they are special and have varying levels of worth. Life is a state of being, no more important than your existence before or after it.

In your view morals mean nothing, nothing matters at all. Anybody that has ever felt genuine happiness or sadness will know that things have different values.

      Editing … They don't have equal respect in my view. I said they have equal unimportance. It's not the same thing. Respect is your opinion of someone's character, nothing more. It is entirely under your control and exclusive to you. It's unique to each individual person. It's not something that has to be "earned". It is merely a checkbox of criteria that you made up. They don't have to meet those criteria to be respected by others. They will have to fulfill a different checklist. Morals are entirely subjective. I have stated that fact numerous times on this site since I joined it. They are not universal. And yes everyone is unique, but so is a snowflake, and they are as temporary as us. And at the end of the day, they are all just "snow". A state of being.

They know that nothing they do matters, so they desperately try to force people to remember them, so that it still exists in some form. Desperately fighting against the simple fact that nothing actually matters and if a meteor smashed into the planet and killed all of humanity, that the invention of penicillin, the highest-earning investor, the most murderous criminal all cease to be. And the universe keeps going, unperturbed.
