"Ernest realized something horrible; he was a character in yet another POW story."

What fascinated me the most is the ambiguity of the ending: I would like to imagine that Ernest did, in fact, find his way back to the cabinet, that he didn't freeze to death that night. And that the last words "he forgot that [...] he was going to die" don't refer to his immanent death, but rather to the certainty that he will die one day.
In a way he needed this near death experience to escape the pessimistic nihilism, that made him wander off in the first place. He realized, that he had the comfort of a roof over his head, enough food on the table and a partner he loved. he was alive now, this was the only thing that truly mattered.

You somehow take everything that keeps me up at night and put it into video format.

My advice for you: don't detach yourself so much from reality, our minds can't comprehend the whole complexity of the universe. If we wander off too much, we'll lose our way to our cabin and most likely reach the conclusion that life has no meaning (it really does not, at least not intrinsically) and develop depression and lose interest in life. It happened to me; philosophy can be destructive If you explore it without moderation.

My take out basically from this art, as long as you can find some comfort in this absurd existence, life seem worth living:
A roof above your head, clean clothes, good food, clean water and at least someone to call home.

The fact that reality seems chaotic and pointless isn't the worst part for me. I hate that I can't really talk about it to anyone and if I try people just don't seem to want to engage in the conversation or just don't understand. It can be lonely.

It can be dangerous, exploring reality. Make sure you don't lose your connection to what you love.

I recently had a panic attack battling my existential crisis and I recognized that as much as you think you're going to die,your subconscious tells you, you have to live,you have things to do,you are here because of reaseons and keep it that way. If anyone finds himself in a situation like one of these,I wish you all the best to find strength an recognize that you're here for a reason

I find it extremely excruciating that life has no actual, true meaning, apart from the one you make up for yourself. My human mind and body demands something bigger to be part of, but there is nothing. It's fine when you don't think about it, but when you do, you feel empty.

The scary and sad part is...I think that was the embrace of death, not him actually being saved..

Life is filled with unknowable questions. Perhaps it’s not answers we’re looking for, but the questions that need reframing.

To the worthwhile person seeing this, your dream is not dead. Don’t allow the past and current pains and hurts stop and define you. You’re more than a conqueror. Rise up and put yourself together. Keep pushing your future depends on it. I wish you all the best in life ❤️.

Ah another classic, your storytelling is so well executed. I can somewhat relate to thoughts Ernest had, as it seemed like everything didn't have a point or at least the mystery of the universe consumed him, I knew he was going to fall in the water due to this. This goes to show that thoughts like these can destroy you, nonetheless I loved how you managed to make a good progression of these thoughts starting from the tv scene. Wonderful!

It certainly hits me sometimes in the middle of my wordly chaos that someday I’m gonna lose everything that I’m running after. Whats the point of all this? This realization stirs my mind for a few seconds and i drift again into the reality chasing dreams.

I think there is a little detail which adds a whole new layer of meaning to the story: the girl's name.
There is a kind of memento mori myth called "et in Arcadia ego" - I (implied Death) am, too, in Arcadia. It is basically a story of two shepherds roaming around Arcadia, an earthly paradise. At some point they stumble upon a gravestone with this writing on it, and realise that even in this land, apparently so full of life and joy, death is always there, waiting.

Its so hard to not question any of this ! There’s so much corrupt/weird things in this reality that’s straight in everyones face but 99% are so numbed down to thinking so minor about this all. I just one day will be thankful to actually know Wtf
