When people are talking, I'm always trying to figure out what they're after/why they're after it. Ultimately every, or at least most actions are selfish in some form, so depending on what they'd be gaining and what I'd be gaining helps gauge my responses.

It is what it is.

Everything happens, and I'm just hanging in there, I'm not going to change the world, so why try? I enjoy being unimportant, it's good to just watch things, being there.

I see the world like a bunch of complicated maths questions, that look simple, and once you see the solutions, you realise it is very simple, but as anyone who has done maths before will know, when you are trying to solve the question, it is so very complicated.

I'm with OP on this one: I also view things by emotional responses. More accurately, I judge the world through MY emotional responses.

My main concern as a person in this world is answering my own emotions competently and completely: only this way I can make the world right for both myself and others.

Me first of course.

I live the world through my emotions just like anyone does.
Emotions are what drives us, it's what makes life worth living.

But when it comes to being philosophical I tend to view things through logic.
Needless to say, I'm not religious. I think that the human creature views things from their own perspective too much, they always think of things in relation to themselves or something they can relate to.
When we think of worldly subjects/questions we need to view things in another way than we do normally. The universe does not revolve around the individual person and we need to let go of emotions and personal feelings when thinking about questions such as what the purpose of life is and what the universe is. We're just a tiny insignificant fart in the vastness of space. Yet we somehow always think we're capable of understanding anything and everything, even though many things in this existence may not be limited to the senses we comprehend or are even capable of understanding.

We ARE insignificant compared to everything else.
The fact that we always view things in relation to ourselves become very clear when looking at our history. Especially religion. How god's and deities are often represented as something seen in ordinary life, say: a sun god, or a god that has the shape of a cat (just examples) when we think of, and see things, we always try to relate them to something we've experienced. Just like we think we'd be able to understand all of the universes mysteries. which frankly, is just impossible. our senses are very limited.

If you don't fully understand what I'm going at I'll put it this way:
There are more ways to interpret the surroundings than our 6 senses (touch, smell, sight, hearing, taste and balance) and we just simply cannot comprehend these other senses (or dimensions, if you will). We can perceive 4 dimensions, the 3 spatial dimensions (3D= height, width and depth) and time. but there are without doubt many more dimensions out there we just simply cannot comprehend them or even imagine what they're like.
It would be like trying to explain color to someone who was born blind, or describe music to someone who was born deaf.

We are not the center of the universe, so i think we should stop thinking we are the only thing in existence that actually matter or that we can understand everything just because our curiosity is endless.

Very nice Skalman, that's a very deep and comprehensive view of the universe and the human race.
