Does it matter? Well, not in some grand cosmic scheme of things, no. There is no magic scoreboard in the stars keeping track of what us human animals are up to on our little blue rock. How arrogant to think there would be!

But it matters in that it has consequences. If you run around naked in a shopping mall, your fellow human beings will respond to that in certain ways. You may be escorted out by security. Or get arrested. Your circumstances may change as a result of your actions. Not going to your exams may be pleasant on the day, but it will have consequences for how you get on in the education system, how you are treated by others, your opportunities in life. Why do you treat that as if it’s nothing, just because you don’t have a big sky-father looking over your shoulder making sure you do your homework? There may not be grand cosmic schemes of “meaning”, but I assure you other people exist. And they will not be impressed with you skipping out of your exams. And that will ultimately make you unhappy, too. Do you really not care whether you or anyone else is happy?

You should bother helping your girlfriend because it makes you happy, and her, and happy is what we would all like to be. I don’t understand how you can shrug that off and say, “Well, it doesn’t matter.” Of course it matters, ya fool! 🙂
