    I believe that Sartre said that there was nothing.

    We think we are doing something but the fact is that there is nothing.

    Yep Sartre's left eye kept looking to the left. He knew.

    God?
    The Cosmos?

    Reality is not revealed to us.
    Perception is all that we have.

    Using Aristotelian logic to the best of our abilities,
    we have to extrapolate on our experiences to get a notion of what may be real.

    At that point, it's all reduced to what we "believe,"
    that inevitably causes problems,
    so essentially, we're fucked.

    Perhaps its best to concentrate on self-indulgence to the extent that we can provide it for ourselves
    and keep "thinking" out of the equation altogether.

    As Americans in particular,
    we don't seem to be very good at it.

    My first job was as a temp (for a week) in a country doctor's office while the regular person was out for vacation. I was 18. One day the doc came in and was telling the staff how old Mr. Somebody had passed away the night before from a heart attack. Everyone was suitably shocked because apparently he had been pretty healthy, and was a staff favorite too. Someone asked what happened. The doc said old Mr. Somebody was in bed with "one of his girlfriends" and "died with his boots on." They all howled with laughter, while I sat there wondering why anyone would wear boots in bed.

    Ah, so you also worship at the altar of the god of hedonism.

    "Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die" has always seemed like a sensible motto. Who knows what happens, if anything, after this. Enjoy it while you can!

    I just suggested what might be best, Owl.
    I'm not always smart enough to do it.
    Sometimes I give myself splitting headaches trying to think, even knowing that I shouldn't be trying it.
