Dick Sirloin, you faggot, get in here

I hope my mind continues to evolve. who wants stagnation.

i think being open to change throughout life is a fundamental part of my "philosophy". i don't even know if i'd bother trying to figure out what i thought about life beyond very general guidelines. there are always exceptions to every rule we try to force on ourselves, and i try not to limit myself with these.

I approve of this good post

I don't think you ever stop learning and being thirsty for answers to big questions. Once you settle down, it's all over baby... unless you pull a Siddhartha

 

[lizard]

I've actually recognized that I've had periods in life where I became rather complacent but thankfully, something has always prodded me into contemplation again.

I love learning, but as far as big questions... if you mean "the meaning of life" type shit... fuck that, better stuff to do. But learning more about a wide variety of topics is totally my cup of tea.

 

[lizard]

I certainly don't mean subscribing to a particular philosophy of life, cause I don't think any philosopher has completely nailed it. I just mean being open to new ideas, experiences, food, etc.

 

[Demilich]

the "meaning of life" is an illusion. everyone has their own. maybe a lot of people have the same one, but that doesn't mean there's one reason we're all supposed to be here. if there is one reason/meaning, how are we ever realistically going to know what it is?

Maybe I just naturally gravitate toward big philosophical questioning, I love to learn about different movements in worldviews, religions, consciousness expansion stuff, string theory, postmodernity, etc. I find all that stuff very interesting, and I read a lot of it, which makes me constantly question these big things. It's like a curse or something, but a worthwhile one I think

Yep. Life is naturally meaningless, it's just the sociological "grids" we put on it that make us see it certain ways.

I like how you didn't end your last sentence with a period, graphically and symbolically illustrating your point; there is no closure, no end to the quest.

riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

Remembering everything I have to do today. Trying to keep up with the 6 hours of homework a night + studying. Trying to remember my name cause I haven't slept in 4 days. Trying to get shit organized for this summer. Trying to find enough money to get the shit I need for summer.

Day to day life consumes 120% of my brain's time. Meaning a lot of shit gets left undone cause I do need to sleep once in a while. Someday I may start thinking about shit like that, until then.. meh.

...somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Yeats rules. The word "slouches" is so PERFECT in that last line. Man really had a way with words, wonder why he couldn't woo Maud Gonne.

 

[lizard]

I really need to buy a collection of Yeats.

As long as you are "productive" and "money-oriented" and "have an angular jawline" and "move in a straight line" and "work for Rearden Steel"

or how about... "not mooching off my parents"... "can afford to not be krigloch"... "work for anyone as long as its not in a city" and "straight lines are slow because you get stuck behind old asian ladies"
