Is There a Point?

[ruckman101]

The point? sssshooot, people have been asking that one forever. Short answer is whatever you want.
Some folks feel the point of life is to have kids, to pass along their beliefs or their genes; or to make as much money or gain as many material possessions as possible; or to control as much land or people as they can.

Everybody is different and they all have different reasons for running in that hamster wheel of life. Gotta do something while we're here.

I dunno, I got nothing.

Ya got more than you know.

Me neither. I missed the point. Damn. I was there in line up in Heaven, see, and they were having a Briefing "Earth Duties" or something, and I was talking to somebody "gee, this is going to be fun!" and the Debriefer asked me if I wanted to share what I was whispering, and I said sorry, and the Debriefer asked everybody, "everybody got the point of this?" and I wasn't about to admit that I didn't have a fucking clue. Bam! I am here. Without a clue and what's the point?

See? That's the fucking problem. With no point, it's hard to go on. Ya gotta have a THEME if I know my Fantasy Island.

Yaah, cut it out ya pansy.
Try AwFukkit hedonistic self-gratification for ONCE.
There is NO WAY you are going to find IT out if you are so desperate to find a Designer Theme Pretty Point.

Go find a smug self-satisfied All Answers No Questions Santimonious Self-Made Man and let him tell you The Secret To a Successful Life, make sure you spend the entire weekend in all that plush puke.

Then take to the wretched misty rainy campsite in your VW bus and thank God for the truth of dripping leaves. Or go to Vegas and enjoy an evening of a comic having a disaster night of sullen patrons.
Geeze,
Colin

I can hook you up with a comic like that. Otherwise, the point may be raku.

To all of this?
I keep hearing "to learn to not be attached to the impermanent (i.e. EVERYTHING) so the real Self can be experienced, the eternal infinite."
It all goes supernova sooner or later. So how do we make sense of the relative reality of life-as-we-know-it and propel our microsecond of human life along positive vibrations? How to give up the sweet sweet peach?
It seems to be that each person's life and perspective is incredibly valid for the perceiver, and he alone. We can NOT judge someone's actions, but we also have murder and bad manners.

A wise man just laughed when asked. "all my years, and if someone knows the point to all of this then I'd sure like to hear it". Boogie street.

I'm tired of all the arguments, they never seem to arrive. Lionel Trains in a circle.

I'm sorry to tell you this: there isn't.

If you have a specific technical issue, there is no better place. But you check in for any other reason at your peril.

Good point, Meyer.

Or boobs.

[MeyerII]

Good point, Meyer.

Or boobs.

Oh yes. Boobs. Definitely.

[ruckman101]

I'm quite fond of boobs.

I think it's time for a pointy boobie diversion:

For me, IT is about the ride. Enjoy it because that's all there may be. (Probably is). I used to think Bob that, that was a depressing thought until you realize that if this is all we have, why not enjoy it?

Religions make you wait and say be good then you can get this... that's really the best thing ever.

My religion is that humans are not much different in the grand scheme of life than ants. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that an ant's life is worth the same as a human's. I'm saying that every creature lives and dies.

It's not a bad thing I think. If you know we're only on this planet for a short period of time, man.. the last thing you want to do is be in a bad mood. At least that's my thoughts. Who wants to get off a roller coaster halfway through. Not me. (Unless you barf of course).

You have to live and eat and buy shit to live day to day on this Earth, but for me, IT is trying to live a good life, help your fellow man, love your family. Everything else is gravy.

I'm still perfecting the religion of Wayne but it took 47 years to get this far.

I forgot to add that when we die, I think it's a lot like going to sleep. You relax and when you pass on you really are not aware of anything anymore. You're just bones. And if we're not aware of being dead, then it can't be that bad.

Live with no regrets. Much easier said than done.. especially day to day.
