We are all put here to experience this world and life on all of its levels, (the experience). To make/build and fulfil our own individual lives for the better whether good or bad 'yin/yang affect it, they both go hand in hand.

It's all about being given the life/freedom to make our own world and experience it in every way and enjoy the good things and learn how to accomplish dealing with the bad/negative things maturely/professionally.

You may be drunk, but so am I, so the whole interplanetary thinking of theory on this is... It's an 'experience', enjoy all of its good and bad because it will only happen once. We are not here long, time is a ticking...........

It's not all that bad. Think of living in the trees of a modern society.. sounds good.

It's not about anything. You're born, you live a few years and then you're dead.

It's about making the world a b.... No, no wait... I know this one!

Ah pfftt... Sure If it was important, I would have remembered it!

Ps - like the way OP put "seriously" before their question, naively thinking he might get a more accurate answer! lol

But something touched me deep inside, the day the music died.

Music will never die, and it is what will keep you going for ever. Frequencies of sound that help you in all feelings of state.

This will be the day that I die....

I work under my father and my boy is turning 3 this year, still with his mum during the day. I don't want him to realise the sh1t and conform, I'd love him to do what he wants to do. I was always trapped with my Dad, he's made us ( myself and brother) but it's not what I wanted to do.

Would it bother you greatly if it was not all about anything and there was no purpose or reason for any of it?

That seemingly is the case - given the lack of any reason to think there is a purpose or reason to any of it. And it bothers me not a jot - nor detracts from my life in any way. I have merely realised that the journey IS the destination.

Enjoy all the trills and explosions of life while you are here, because you are here now at this time, so 'shape' this world to your liking if possible and do what makes you happy. Fcuk brussels and its nanny-state law implementations yearly forwarded/forced onto folk. Feel free and fcuk the world, but in a nice way.

Well it's self-explanatory.

It's all about individual greed. this is the reality. 1 trillion is not enough.

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power

The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide

We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause it's bugger all down here on Earth

Always look on the bright-side of life, for life is quite absurd...

Alway's look at the bright side of death.

The last laugh is on you............ Nothing comes from nothing.

You were drunk
you realise your kids are getting ready to fly the coup (hopefully).
You now realise you are an individual ...
You now have choices on the horizon.

Have you seen American Beauty?

Actually your comments are very good. Kids are older and don't need much attention. It's a struggle to get them to go on family holidays with us now. I see American beauty every morning beside me...( that's just in case wife's see this thread):)

Eating, drinking, fcuking, sucking? Snorting? Then what? You're 50. You got a bag for a belly. You got tits, you need a bra. They got hair on them. You got a liver, that got spots on it, and you're eating this fcukin' shit.

This what it's all about? This what I work for?

Well, when you look upon this thread hung-over it all makes sense. The euphoria of alcohol and weed makes it feel simplified and natural in the cocoon of blissful control at the time of enlightenment. But when the euphoria wears off... it's just back to the natural reality of the rat-race.

It was enjoyable being on the other-side of reality for the night, but no-matter where you have been for this time, you will always end up back here... the plain reality of robotics

Maybe you need some problems to keep you busy :eek:

Seriously I don't know what its all about but there is something in humanity that loves a fighter so I am going to keep on fighting until I find out what I am fighting for

Its about survival. If you have lost sight of that, you're having too good a time. Luckily, most of us in the first world dont need to fight for survival everyday. Hence why any other "lesser" problems you have are called "first world problems".

I'm far more concerned with the fact you're a 43 year old with two kids - and you decide to spend time, drunk, on an online forum. Are you not even a touch embarrassed?

It isn't about anything its all random one you realise that you will be grand.
