    It's incredible how similar our takes on life are. This side of RUclips is like modern philosophy it's amusing. You know how the ancient philosophers like Socrates, Aurelius etc. would talk to each other and debate on the meaning of life, that's like what RUclips is for us now, debating through a comment section through a screen. Crazy.
    I'm just a teen from Ireland yet I can share so much of your takes. Such a distance and specific array of events that had to happen for me even to be on this comment section. Homage to God and his plan. Anyway, this feeling, sonder, I've been feeling crazy for YEARS of my life. I first felt this from a very young age, maybe 5 or 6. As a child I knew that time wasn't permanent so would constantly try to remember loads of moments; being in preschool and everyone giving me a card for becoming a big sister, (my mom had given birth to my sister for context). I remember it so vividly, who gave me the card, the preschool room, the writing on the card and feeling loved and happy. I realised gradually from then; wow everyone else thought about me being a sister and made a card for me. Everyone else has as a complicated life as me.
    I pay homage to the fact that this hyper-awareness and ability to be conscious is from God. There's no other explanation. The way I see the matrix we live in and the technology age we are in, full of lies and fear, is that this is a test. This life, can be beautiful and sorrowful. Painful. You know why. Because this world, this life we all have, isn't our final destination. As a very skeptical person who has searched different religions for the answer, I can fully say that Christ is the answer. It brings comfort to me, to see this life as a temporary pathway to a final destination with Christ. Death is only another doorway EVERYONE has to cross. God gave you the ability to think deeply, for many individuals to think deeply like this. The meaning of life really is to love others. Do what we can to get by this matrix, but ultimately escaping idols and distractions like social media and embracing nature and our loved ones is so important. God put you and us all here for a reason. If you read all this, a stranger across the screen, just know that God waits for you with open arms. Jesus is the TRUTH to this world that promises us all nothing. As a person who looked into all religions and philosophers, many philosophers miss the meaning of life because they haven't seen the light of Christ.
    The fact that everything is made perfectly and we are conscious of our existence means that there was a Creator.
    Keep up the content!!! There's loads of us who think deeply and value these thoughts also. God bless. This world is temporary but Jesus is eternal.
    John 15:19
    "'If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.''
    28I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.” 29His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.…"

    The older I get the more frequent I have sonder moments. Everyday seems to happen more & more. Also my parents talked to me about how I am me & everybody else is their own, & you’re ur own individual. That if everybody else jump off a bridge r u? No. Encouraged to just be myself. Also that u can do anything u want as long as u put ur mind to it.

They would never care abbout anyone else's thoughts or life like you

And of course it's priviledge to be alive now even if it doesn't feel like that. But past years I came alive too. I was dead robot my early adult life. It's wonderful to be alive and realize it!

    Very deep thought of how we all could of been born during different times that would of made us not be able to interact or even know or hear what everybody’s got to say. It shows we r all here for a reason, purpose & connected within each other. It’s like we all serve purpose to 1 another & affect 1 another just depending upon what’s going on, weather, mood, situation & even topics of the day. Feel like that’s a sonder moment. I think all sonder is instincts/intuition/gut feeling.

    Knowing that we could of all lived during diff time periods but also knowing that’s not the case makes me feel as if this is all just a part of the plan that each & every 1 of us has. So maybe sometimes we should just trust in the plan cuz it wouldn’t be there for each & every1 of us if it wasn’t going to benefit us, & def not without a reason or purpose. So obviously it means there’s a purpose behind it. In fact I believe there’s a purpose behind everything. If there wasnt purpose then it wouldn’t be happening. I don’t believe God would take time energy to create something that had no meaning or purpose cuz that would be just a waste of time, just like us. That plan is placed there for our benefit since God knows best & our future. We don’t so everything present isn’t going to be understood. I believe once it’s done, the learning lesson, what we go thru is done then that’s the only way we’re going to understand cuz we have all the pieces to the puzzle & c the whole picture from beginning to end. That’s just like reading a book, if we just read the 1st chapter then we won’t have a clue what’s going on or up ahead. It’s not until the whole book is done that we can understand it & everything within it. I hope this makes sense & explained it in an understanding way. Let me know if not & which piece If that’s the case. G, deep thoughts come with a lot to say. I guess that’s y they call it deep lol

      John 1:1-18 ESV - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light. The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.
