I am not being trite:
Thats the point! There is no single point except to exist and from that to try to exist peacefully with your fellow people.
You are right, we are here briefly. No different than a flower blooming for a time. Whats the point to blooming just to die? Thats the point.
As alan watts said... the journey itself is the point.
- askonomm 5y agoWhat you wrote reminded me of this extremely powerful (to me at least) bit by Jim Carrey on the latest The Weeknd album (which is about being in a state purgatory): Heaven's for those who let go of regret And you have to wait here when you're not all there yet And if your broken heart's heavy when you step on the scale You'll be lighter than air when they pull back the veil Consider the flowers, they don't try to look right They just open their petals and turn to the light
- leetrout 5y agoThats great. Thanks for sharing.
- chasd00 5y ago"exist peacefully with your fellow people" is great but first try to exist peacefully with yourself.
- leetrout 5y agoTruth. Have to love yourself. This takes some work.
