Thinking this way has saved my life thousands of times at this point. Because one is able to rescue oneself over and over again by viewing life in this way.
I remember my 8th Grade Science Teacher Mr. Addison, teaching us about how through Electrolysis to separate water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. This particular experiment might prevent human extinction if you think about it too as long as it isn't carried too far by humans to where there is no water left to drink or bathe or swim in. Because once you separate hydrogen from oxygen they aren't really tethered to the earth in the form of water anymore because any water there was is now hydrogen and oxygen and whatever you did with those two gases which are in the case of Hydrogen the lightest element which will go straight to the top of the atmosphere and stay there as long as it wants to.
But, thinking about life as a science experiment if you liked studying science like I always did in school was always helpful in me dealing the the harsh realities of life here on earth.
We all have fantasies growing up of what we are going to be when we grow up. But, what might be more important than that is understanding who you are and what you need to even choose to survive as a human being here on earth.
I think this is much more important than deciding a life long career for example. Many people I know wanted to be this or that profession and then went to college to become that and then they hated their life the rest of their lives until they died because they felt obligated to do what they had studied because their parents paid for their education. But, they hated their lives the rest of their lives because it made them completely unhappy whatever profession they had chosen.
So, like I said, figuring out what will make you happy enough to even choose to stay alive here on earth is far more important than creating a career in some ways because if you can't find something to make you happy enough to choose to stay alive then you won't.
What gave me purpose was to have a son at age 26 years old. This took me away from selfish thoughts only about myself and the women I was dating at the time and made me responsible for another human life and where that life went.
For me, this caused me to work and to start businesses to support my son and wife then and made me grow up which many people never do in life ever. You can see all the selfish signs in people's lives who never have grown up by the way. Once you become a parent you really see how selfish people can be and it really turns your stomach when you meet people like this.
But, it's a free world and never growing up or taking responsibility for anything is actually what many people choose to do with their lives which is awful to watch in real time.
Simply because often these are the people destroying the future of people and all life on earth by their selfishness.
But, if you want to be around a long time try seeing how I have always seen life: As a science experiment.
For example, I found myself dating a lot of girls starting when I was 15 years old so by the time I was 26 and married with a son I had met many different girls along the way. So, each relationship to me was literally a "Science Experiment" in that was this girl the one? You never know by the way until you spend enough time with someone to get to really know them. And then some people you are compatible with and some you are not (or they aren't compatible with you). So, you move on looking for the right person to be with like I did.
People who put all their faith on one person without spending enough time and life with that person are bound to fail in that relationship. You really need to spend a lot of time together to make sure it can work long term. So, in that sense every relationship is an experiment to see if that relationship can work for both of you.
Otherwise, you cannot help but be very very disappointed if you don't do the work initially. This is why 50 percent of marriages end in divorce by the way because people have completely unrealistic expectations of each other.
You have to spend enough time with each other to see whether it can work or not or the end result can ONLY be extreme disappointment and sometimes one of them commits suicide in this disappointment.
So, without enough research in a relationship there is no way it can work without being together enough in the first place.
But, there are other factors, for example, I met someone at age 6 that I wanted to marry right then and actually dated from 17 to 19 that I wanted to marry. The problem was I couldn't grow up fast enough at 19 to actually get married and she married someone else because she was ready for that. So, life isn't perfect because even if you meet the right person "Timing is everything".
And this will break your heart too inevitably.
But, by seeing "Life as a Science Experiment and an Adventure" this helped me survive all the ups and downs of my life because when you see life this way there is always something new and interesting to study in life always.
So, I never get tired of studying new and different things in life no matter how old I get.
A Love of learning will keep you alive maybe to 100 or more these days.
By God's Grace
