-finding meaning in a system that has no meaning-

 

Yeah. I don’t think that makes much sense how I’ve written it, but trust me, I’m right, and I know what I am talking about. I just have trouble in the articulation department. Christ, upon reading that, I sound really conceited.

 

tonight, at the diner, someone asked me what the meaning of life was. i laughed, and said, there is no meaning to life. Nothing has any meaning. basically gave him a brief overview of the "absurdity of life" by cammus. he then asked me if feelings have any point. i said yes, but actually no. people have emotions and attach them to things, which gives meaning. this meaning is an illusion. even if something does have meaning, it really has none, and it has no point. but then that doesnt mean it shouldnt be done. now i am running into problems, because the logical question for you to ask here is "why?". i might need to get back to you on that one. right now im thinking that people have an emotional attachment that gives life meaning, but in actuality it is still meaningless. imagine two concentric circles. the smaller, inner one is life with meaning. the outer large one, is the meaninglessness of life which encompasses and overlaps life's meaning. that make sense? more to come.
