Category: The Meaning of Life
I am getting the impression that many do not quite get that the title of this web diary, and the meaning (haha) of the concept of the web diary is that nothing has meaning intrinsically, inherently, automatically, in and of itself, built in, supposedly, without point of view.
So that is to say, that truth and the is exist whether or not observed, in a definable state, but that in defining we now have placed upon that is a subjective perspective that filters, possibly, the actual existence.
Values are a result of this perspective.
Got any?
Science is a good analogy for this. If we see a tree before us, it exists, but not necessarily as we perceive it. We don’t see the moving atoms and all that good stuff. We have laws and reasons for everything, like how sound travels, the atomic makeup of all matter, gravity, etc. But these definitions change as old “facts” are disproven and this will continue to happen as long as we exist. This is not to say the theory of gravity will be proven false, just that using language to explain existence has its limitations. So I guess we try to get as close to the truth as possible without ever really reaching it. Like this comment, for instance, was supposed to be badass, but just didn’t come out as I’d planned. It ganged aft agley. Oh well. Whatever.
I value your web diary. But then again, I am running a delusion filter, so maybe my reply doesn’t mean anything. It’s kind of like the blue light special at k-mart: It gets my attention, I run over, but it’s only socks on sale. I don’t buy any. It’s my CHOICE.
I on the otherhand bought the damn socks!
Well Insanity.
You’ve been filtered out by your own filter!
Life is life, within you and without you.
You don’t choose whether to exist, or whether anything else exists.
I had no choice but to tell you.
Hey, you’re wearing my socks!
Well, er, happy birthday!
Well Aristurtle.
What if I choose a belief system where you don’t exist? If I perceive you not, pfffffffffffft!, you’re gone. And if you are wearing clydeishappy’s socks, they’re gone too. Good thing he got them on sale.
Is that a rhetorical question?
Well, the fact that you can’t proves my point. I exist, whether you like it or not.
Separate belief from truth and you may start to get the point of there is no point.
Otherwise……………………..There is no point.
Hahahahahaha
