There are days that can make your life.
There are days that can ruin your life.
When you distill it down, life is simply those 4 or 5 days.

It's not bleak at all.

When you are old and gray...what moments will you look back upon and smile or reflect:


Graduation from college
The first date with future spouse
Marriage
Birth of children
Loss of a parent
 
I'd like to think that life consists of more than those big 4 or 5 days...although those are the important days that may change your life, everyday counts for something. You affect someone's life each day and you may not even know it.

True - but if you don't know that - howe does it affect you??
 
Hmm...I'd never really thought of it like that before. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell to make of life. It seems as if those who cling to it the tightest sometimes enjoy it the least.
I know I worry about the "what ifs" way too much, but I think I'm getting a little better about this. I know I don't enjoy each day as much as I should; sometimes I try to consciously remind myself of all the good things about my life and that helps a little. It would probably help if I were religious, because at least then I would feel a sense of purpose. I'm not though, whether I like it or not. Things like working out help to give me some focus and sense of progress, but in the end I think I will die, rot, and that will be the end of it. We're biological machines with too much cerebral matter for our own good. Man, I'm a real optimist, huh?

We are all that way to an extent. Try some special brownies form REFER.
 
Why do you want to feel a sense of purpose? Because you've been brainwashed into wanting this. You should just relax, kick back, have a brownie and enjoy the surf.
 
Corn, if this is your way of saying you're contemplating suicide, fuck off :)

It's just peaks and valleys surrounded by a lot of flat land.

Just remember that the flat land is important too....don't just live your life for those peaks and valleys.

It is important. It's just not what people recall or remember.

Yep I just felt like something was looking at me, I turn my head down towards the floor and there she is beside my desk staring up at me with those big blue eyes.

My point? This kitty for example does not analyze the meaning of life. I dont think she cares either. All she cares about is food, sleep, beating up my male cat, and staring at things like me for hours at a time(she's a champion starer).

I like her philosophy in life. That being Keep it Simple.

Or just smoke a bong, then life becomes alot more clear.:fro:

True.

The major course-defining moments in your life can usually be boiled down to just a few days...just a few acts or a few decisions that alter your course.

The secret to life, however, has never been that complex to me and I never understood why people continue to remain confused about. Everyone inherently searches for purpose in an otherwise pointless existence whether it be a conscious or subconscious level. It is the fulfillment of the highest level of the need hierarchy pyramid, the satisfaction of self-actualization.

True happiness boils down to that...either you find that meaning in your life or you don't. It's the reason mankind invented religion. Unfortunately, we are cursed with the ability to reason and do not remain blissfully unaware of our finite existence and we are able to comprehend our own mortality. This is what separates us from dogs, monkeys, trees, or bacteria. Our minds place linear principles to the structure of time and this, along with the contradicting forces of nature versus nurture, lead us into neurosis. The ensuing confusion leaves us bewildered, confused, and searching for answers. The solution is to find purpose to extinguish these mental anxieties.

This is man in his natural state. He is naturally geared to look for meaning...to look for answers. The actual achievement of self-actualization is not necessarily required to be valid or even real for that matter. It is merely required to satisfy said requirement for a given person considering their individual variables such as intelligence, personality type, personal tastes, experience, biological mechanisms, etc.

It can take many forms, from extremely complex to the mundane...preaching the gospel in a Methodist church, teaching history to 8th graders, accumulating wealth, raising a daughter, being a spouse, mowing yards, studying philosophy, or sitting alone in the grass in mid-summer.

Everyone will find self-actualization differently, some will never find it. But this is the journey we are given...find you purpose and will find meaning in life.
 
Wodin:

Yes, my friend, I believe you speak the the truth. I am coming around to this point of view, and I think it is why I have not suffered a severe bout of depression since April. I'm still a moody dude. It seems to run in my family.

Weed just doesn't do it for me though. I like alcohol, and in case you guys haven't noticed my two or three posts on the subject, I have a recent fascination with Adderrall. I think the ultimate will be the juice though. I'm very anxious to get all the components of my cycle together and find out.

I went through a pretty down period last summer, during which time I threw a friend of mine a batchelor party. We got extremely fucked up and ended up at a skanky titty bar. I hate titty bars, and I was definitely in the wrong frame of mind to be in one. To make a long story short, I ended up punching a hole in their wall and then punching out their glass entry door (my knuckle still doesn't look right). When the cops tried to arrest me I fled on foot. Pretty smart, huh? I've never even had a traffic ticket and I do that. It was definitely not my proudest moment. Anyway, the point to this story is that I'm having to pay the piper now, so my $$ for my juice has been diverted. That's what I get for acting like a punk, I guess.

And no, I definitely do not plan on drinking when I'm on.
 
He was a kooky fucker, but Ted Katzinsky talks about "surrogate activities" in his "Unabomber Manifesto". He even specifically mentions bodybuilding. It's an interesting read if you've ever got a few hours to kill.

Sense of purpose and a whole lot more!!!
 
When I was working as an instructor with Outward Bound we carried these books of all types of readings with us.. Each night at dinner, I would have the students pick a favorite and read it to the group.. This one has always been my favorite.. Dials it right in..

To laugh- is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is- to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is- to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is- to risk exposing your true self.
To place ideas, your dreams before the crowd- is to risk their loss.
To love is- to risk not being loved in return.
To live is- is to risk dying.
To hope is- to risk despair.
To try is- to risk failure.

But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he has forfeited freedom.

Only a person who risks is free.


Life dosent come down to 4 or 5 days.. It comes down to EVERYDAY.. In my opinion anyone who can relate their position in life to only a handful of days has not truly lived..
