Wittgenstein solved philosophy at 29.

Then he quit, gave away his fortune, and became a primary school teacher.

Years later, he came back and spent the rest of his life taking his own masterpiece apart.

His most famous idea, in one line: "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world."

We spent our entire lives making meaning out of our existence, only to realise that the universe has always been indifferent to it.

The road I walk on every day also carries the stories of hundreds of thousands of people who have walked on it and will walk on it. My existence is insignificant even to the road.

Maybe the hardest thing to accept in life is that there is nothing special about our existence and that we are condemned to the same fate as everyone else, even if we pretend we aren't.

But that's also liberating because now you're free. You don't have to leave a mark on a world that has existed for billions of years without you. You can enjoy the brief moment during which you were alive.

And that's never going to be insignificant.

I write about existence, mortality, and the strange business of being human on my Substack. If these are the questions that keep you thinking long after the screen goes dark, you'll find something there worth sitting with.

White Nights (1959) is a Soviet romantic drama based on a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The story takes place in Saint Petersburg during the magical "white nights," when the sun barely sets and the city feels dreamlike.
It follows a lonely young man called the Dreamer. He lives quietly, spending most of his time in his own thoughts and fantasies. One evening, he meets Nastenka, a young woman who is also lonely and waiting for the man she loves to come back. Over four nights, they walk and talk, sharing their fears, dreams, and hidden feelings. Slowly, a deep connection grows between them. The Dreamer falls in love-but he soon realizes that Nastenka's heart belongs to someone else. Even though it hurts, he chooses kindness and helps her reunite with the man she has been waiting for.
The film is a touching story about love that is not returned, about letting go, and about short moments of happiness that can change us forever. It gently reminds us that some people enter our lives only briefly, yet leave memories that stay with us for a lifetime. by @notes.from.absurd
