Wake Up Call...

Dec 06, 2006 15:13

We do nothing to deserve what we get in life. There is no fate, no mandatory way in which the world must work. Everything is an arbitrary mess. We believe in a god so that we can escape the uncertainty of mortality only to be returned to an unfeeling, unthinking oblivion ( Read more... )

Call me if you need anything. If your cell phone is still fucked up, my number is 610.308.9257

Love may be useless, but it still is. And I still love you. And I'm always here for you.

i'm really sorry tom. my dog died a little bit ago and my family asked me to come home and see the body and it was so awkward. i didn't end up going -- why remember your pet in pain, you know? do what you feel is best for you, if you don't have to remember him suffering, then don't.

i love and support you in every decision you make!

Sorry to hear that :(
Just try to enjoy yourself though. It isn't selfish.

I'm so sorry to hear that. If you need someone to talk to and want to call me, feel free to call my cell whenever.

sometimes, i disagree with you on things.

God, and love, may both be pretty lies. I can't prove the existance or nonexistance of either. But one thing I'll stand by: those who still have the strength left to believe in them, should be allowed to.

Wakeup calls don't do anyone any good.
Let them dream.

I'm not intending to wake anyone up but myself. Since nothing matters, I may as well have the selfish pleasure of having people comment in my journal. I may as well continue to do things that make me feel better.

If they want to accept what I say, that's their own decision. Let people live in ignorance, or in faith...or even with better logic then mine. I envy people like that.

Faith is said to be for the strong, but I can't help but feel that it is for the ignorant. How much strength does it take to believe in something versus the amount of strength it takes to believe in a lack of God (without feeling the pleasures of the knowledge that death is neither pleasure nor pain)? I find it takes more strength for the latter.

He's dead now, anyway, so there really is no point in my argument. It's my job to move on as quickly as possible in order to live the rest of my short years on Earth.
