star ocean
I'm teetering on the metaphysical knife's edge... okay, that's a gross exaggeration -- but I AM thinking about metaphysical stuff at the moment, as is my habit.
I guess the core of the thought process was the game Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (which I just finished an hour ago). There's this whole theme of creation and creator, the divinity or lack thereof of a creator being -- the fact that it is conceivable for a creator being to be possessed of no more power or intelligence than any human being alive. Definately is interesting. It has made me think a bit more pragmatically about things, like playing a bit more at life. I mean, we only have so long with these bodies, so whether there's something more afterward or not, it's much better to enjoy one's time alive than not to do so. If there is an afterlife, then there will be more time to enjoy. If not, then present enjoyment is it. Either way, having a good time and avoiding depression is certainly the way to go. No point being miserable, and also no point worrying about why we're here or where we're going to end up, other than the enjoyment one can have talking about such things.
Eh, I don't really want to sit here and type out all of the thoughts I'm tumbling around with in my head right now, because frankly it's a little boring to type about them. I need to be winding down for bed, since I have work in the morning. I just can't seem to make myself sleepy! Oo, I know! I'll fight being sleepy really hard... that always works :)
Okay, I'm going to stay up forever and ever, never going to sleep. Sleep is the suckiest thing ever. Yo.
Peace out
