I recently rewatched Cast Away and it made me think about how in a sense we are all existential cast aways. The idea of a personal intervening God and or universe becomes our painted volleyball we talk to for psychological comfort. We suspend our disbelief even in our own lives and pretend it is a coherent story with a satisfactory beginning and end. There is an extreme pressure to act as if there is no plot holes like the bullet that shoots through the book, there is no plot armor. Life doesn't owe us a hero's journey. Sometimes you cannot affirm life when there is nothing there to affirm besides how wicked and random it is. I refuse to act as if people that were born in less fortunate circumstances than me are just side supporting character's in my own personal grim dark fantasy's ambience. We want to believe that a personal intervening God exists. That the hangman is a fair man concerning the day of the rope instead of a glowing eyes ambush predator in the night laying in the tall grass waiting for the opportune moment to jump scare us and snap our necks in a split second split. That death is always on time and never uncalled for. That the universe gives us exactly what we asked for. That the cosmic scales always balance even though we clearly have to lay witness to the gratuitous suffering that doesn't always have a silver lining. Just because delusion can be pragmatic in the sense of living one's life doesn't make it more true. Sometimes self deception is a way to keep on. An animist painted volleyball lie we tell ourselves to make our existences on this isolated spherical island suspended by the void a little more bearable. I used to heavily indulge in motivational slop when I was younger until I realized how cringe it was. Just because you can run until you shit out a lung and get shin splits doesn't mean the universe owes you something. You might run forever if death never lasts.
