Life,

Meh...
It feels so meaningless sometimes.
And it's odd because it feels more meaningless when I accomplish things. Education for example. It's just an endless stream of "and what's the meaning of that?" questions that all seem to point to: there is no meaning.

Heh, how do people last so long?

Sure, some things make me happy and I can enjoy the sensation of feeling happy.
But eventually I come to question the meaning of happiness which I know is absurd.

I hate "what's the meaning?" moods.

Man! I hear that!

I have these 'what's the meaning' moods at some point in each day. I just try to shake them and move on.

Just think of it this way - there is no answer to that question. We will never know what the meaning is. Therefore, the meaning has to be this very moment.

I don't understand your answer beyondaurora.

I don't understand your answer beyondaurora.

I think she was saying that the answer to "what's the meaning (of life, since all the questions seem to eventually end up asking, 'what's the meaning of life') is that there is no meaning to life (there is no answer to what the meaning is) so in her opinion the meaning of life is the present time that she lives in.

But for me that seems too nihilistic. I see myself as existing in the present, and in the future (eventually) so it's hard to just focus on the present moment being the meaning of life...

It is odd. And ridiculous. I don't get it either.
As far as the life thing goes, I just figure I have to keep living to keep searching, so there's certain things I gotta keep doing.
