not everything "happens for a reason in the best of all possible worlds" (quote from the satire candide). Sometimes life just happens. We have no knowledge why or how or if there's even a purpose, but in the end we must create what we perceive to be a life worth living. The purpose and desire of doing so is what keeps the world going, and what keeps man strong.

E. Spinoza once wrote (in a book that I've snce forgotten the title of) that it is not truly more sad for a six year old child to die than an elderly gentleman.
They have the same exact thing-
This Moment.
And the way it was written out, I believed it. I still do.
Now, sing with me...
Danh, danh, danh...
All we have is this moment...
Twenty-first Century's yesterday...
You can do all you want.
Everybody does, yeah, well, that's OK...

Philosophy is at once the most sublime and the most trivial of human pursuits.
Philosophy is a route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.

Life is like skydiving. It has it's ups and downs, but you're going to die because of it eventually.
