I have often suspected that anyone who understands the meaning of life probably implodes, pops, explodes, or just disappears. Maybe a brief Gestalt, an "A ha" of sorts; then poof, bang, nothing. Not so much a cosmic image. Still I wonder. How many songs? Books? Movies? Poems? Address the meaning of life.
One of the best books (one of the only books) I have ever read is called, "Man's Search for Meaning". Why? We wonder. What came before us? And before what came before us?.......
"Then came the Dinosaurs. They all died and we bought Mercedes Benz's"
a loose quote from the Movie "Airplane"
Bang. I like that. There was a big bang. Here we are. A large explosion, and we commenced to being. Being what? Well stuff of course? What stuff? You now "Bang Stuff" "Matter".
"OOoooh Matter".
Or there's a tale about a strange man in a large boat. Of which whom even though they were told specifically not to take candy from strangers or get into large watercraft with strange bearded men; 2 by 2 they boarded.
Hmmmmm. I'm still confused. But we need to understand. We just gotta know. Or maybe its just me. Maybe everyone is going, "It is what it is". Which I do here often. I do believe it was God or Yahweh who said, "I am." Which is a little brief, but I suppose if your the lord, who's gonna get ya for sentence fragment.
Which I love about religion. It finds people. Or people find it. I was........in a gutter.... with a pigeon............covered completely in......... having lost everythi........I didn't even know she liked trucke....rs......and I found religion. Or religion found me. Usually, these are the scenarios as I have observed them:
- It was late
- I was lost
- I was in some way shape or form under the influence of something
- I was minding my own business in a tent when a small man with REALLY big HAIR
struck me in the forehead
The following results. Now I'm all better. I get it.
"what"?
"You now. It. the meaning".
"what meaning?"
"THE MEANING"
"Ooooh well if you are going to put it in all CAPS" "Well then it must be so"
Which brings us to faith. I like faith. Faith primarily says. BECAUSE. Faith is like an answer on credit. Its like a "Get out of Jail Free card (Monopoly)" for tough questions. And if you get Really annoyed with someone, then you can............ QUESTION their faith. People have been drowned, stoned, burned, and even kicked out of the Republican party for having their faith questioned.
Having said a lot about very little using linear, circular, and even no logic at all; I will leave you with this.
Beats the shit out of me. Daily.
