Would you rather live in a world where nothing matters, or where everything matters. Which is worse? To live in a world where every action is so consequential, that anything might just change the world. Or to live in a world where nothing you could ever do would change the tides of life - forced to drift along.
We always strive for meaning in life, but say life means nothing. Nothing can be anything depending on your perspective. What might be sad for one may be completely different for another. What brings hope to some, might bring despair for the rest.
To tell the truth life is full of contradictions. Life is too short, life is too long. Does slow and steady truly win the race? I don't mean to ramble, just to ponder. What do people expect when asking about life's meaning? Do you really want an answer? Would you really want to be told that in the sands of time that you are nothing but an insignificant spec? Live life to the fullest. Expect nothing and get everything. You hold your world in your hand just as it holds you in it's. It's all about perspective.
Tonight while walking home I saw the moon. It was a dark, strong red. Like nothing I've ever seen before. It was magnificent. I wish I had a camera because I don't think I'll see anything like that again.
P.S. As an afterthought, one of my favorite comics, Perry Bible Fellowship.
