How do you describe yourself without sounding pretentious, arrogant, or self-absorbed? Do I honestly believe, that you, the reader will take any interest in a profile of someone whose existence, from your standpoint, can be culminated as nothing more than a few electrons hitting the back of a glass paneled box? Probably not, but who asked you anyway? I find life overall to be rather monotonous. Yes, you can speak of love and nature and philosophize all day about it-but it basically comes down to this: We are meaningless blobs of flesh in an uncaring universe. Depressing? Not necessarily. It would be easy for me to put all of my faith into a distant being who will one day sweep me away to a magical world where cats talk and I can eat bon-bons all day and not gain a pound. But I find it so much more of a challenge to my existence to face the cold reality of being. I only exist because I believe I do. Consciousness is a clever smoke and mirrors act, deceiving us all into believing that we have some special place on this earth. Philosophers have plagued us for years by writing in tiny little diaries with expensive pens about what it means to be alive and the significance of our existence. Why not accept what is all too apparent? The reason our significance is so elusive is because there is no great mystery in our being- we think therefore we are. Yes, I hear you-youve had some kind of religious experience or spiritual revelation that led you to realize your mission in life. Remember those smoke and mirrors? Poof.-Epilogue- The above is an interpretation of myself as a thinking being, and your and my place in the Universe. On the weekends I like to hang out with my friends, watch movies and engage in other activities that will num me to the frivolity of my existence. Ergo Nihili! ..
