I was a terrible child. My tendency to frequently ask
"why" or "how" exasperated my father. I was sure. He never showed displeasure though
every time I asked. Instead, he merely answered my questions the best he could.
Or at least he offered whatever he could
to keep me quiet.
The Terrible Child became an adult. Like the child, the
adult drove some crazy. Two ex'es (and maybe another forthcoming) are still
down on their backs, screaming, tearing their hair off, and kicking their legs up in
the air at an imaginary Ariel.
They look like they might have gone insane.
Now please don't mistake my sharing Terrible Child with you
as a warning. Never ever worry about being bugged. In addition to gagging Terrible Child, I've had a Restraining Order served against her.
But for now, here is Ariel with a question really heavy on her mind.

If you were a firm believer in randomness and in the absence of order in the universe why
would you even look for a meaning in life?

Postscript: Don't you think that the picture above more than eloquently portrays the meaning of meaning?
Sigh! I really thought the gag would work.

Good One...Yes, the picture does portray "the meaning of meaning" and it's subsequent questions, but don't let it weigh too heavily on your mind :-). Looking for "anything" is part of just being and existing :-).
ReplyDeleteWise and true Pete! Thank you. But how do you know you found or not found what you're looking for? But even if I still don't have the answers, and probably never will, I continue to dance like an idiot. :)
DeleteMy Heart usually lets me know - one way or the other - sometimes, too late though, when my Mind gets in the way :-)
DeleteThe mind always gets in the way Pete! But to quote the French Mathematician Pascal: "The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of."
DeleteA rose, whether with a thorn underneath, and by any other name would still be sweet (to paraphrase The Great Bard). What is important is that the boat has a rose sail. Imagine a sailboat without a sail in the middle of an ocean. The boat would merely drift, aimless and courseless. I wrote the blog to find answers. And I'm still looking for them. Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteWOWWWWW you are so smart and there is much i can still answer for you.
