I have a sister who is rather strange|

For example, she bought two budgies in a cage|

One is generally pearched on top and is fat, and the other is pearched on the bottom and is skinny|


She has named them Queenie and Simon (?)


Queenie is the big fat one that oppresses Simon the thin one|

But my sister also says that they look at each other with fondness|


What do you make of all this?

This seems to be an ongoing cycle that myself and people I know go through there entire lives. Shouldn't we get wise and after all the disappointments of getting what we want, and the regrets of losing things we took for granted... shouldn't we learn to be suspicious of this flaw in ourselves?

That they're unknown because they're not from truth?

What would be some examples?

Just wondering.. Do average Germans have difficulty understanding Kant, Husserl, Gadamer .....? Do I find these things difficult because I'm a foreigner and unfamiliar with their tradition and culture?

I am having trouble figuring out "what to do next" in my life. I know that sounds funny for those of you who have somewhat of a perspective on the whole thing, but I feel like a scared little mouse in a maze right now! Why can't I be the hawk flying over?

Things to do next (I'm 26) include abrubtly moving to a ski town and working the slopes for the rest of the winter season....

Moving to Nashville to pursue music further (I am a fiddler and singer)

Moving to a college town and getting a masters degree of some sort.....

ARGH!

Feeling lost and directionless....

It's not for something personal. I just want to see opinions.

It is not any sort of grief that put me in this position. In short, I'm terribly bored. The only unbearable feature of life is how uneventful and unstimulating it is. I have enough to satisfy my physical needs, have an adequate intellect and probably have somewhat of a "good life" ahead.

But worldly gain-wealth, power, recognition, friends-dont add up to an appealing picture. I cannot force myself to care about these rediculous things when I am simply a self-aware macromolecule on a ball of encrusted magma sailing through an infinitessimally small unit of space and time. Space and time indeed may only compose one of many extradimensional branes in this seemingly incomprehensible multiverse.

I don't believe in an afterlife, so suicide would be cancelling this existance that has yet to prove its worth to me. It seems that all individual endeavour is ultimately a waste of time and will not matter when put in perspective. I've had enough. Is there really a reason to continue existing?

What would you like people to see written on your headstone? Bear in mind the size limits the wording so be brief, creative, funny, profound...You decide but make it something they will remember. Have fun.
