3. Nope
Everything is just everyone's perception of what they think what is. It might matter to each person at the time they are thinking about it, but in the whole scheme of existence, it doesn't mean shit.

14. well then i say yes
Everything you do has to the potential to have a profound effect on other people and the course of future events.

On the other hand - things that seem insurmountable now will, with the benefit of hindsight, seem much less important later on.

The way we treat each other and the world around us matters very much, to me.

9. Things do not matter, other than the value of their use
Beliefs, emotions, feelings, relations with fellow humans and God-those things matter.

10. Yes, there are things that matter... to me anyway.
It may not be the same things that matter to anyone else.

11. In the words of Spiritual Master Joss Whedon...
"If nothing matters, then all that matters is what we do."

12. The sun will explode in a few billion years
and the Earth will be vaporized. Think about that next time you're having a bad hair day.
