A simple question...

The meaning of life?

Anyone want to give it a shot? Cliches are not allowed. Bonus points for humor in truth.

I used to be an optimist, but I'm not sure it wasn't merely self-delusion.

Which icon? I'm not sure I know what either is from. Remember me? Totally un-LJ-wise. No icons - no TV - always behind on movies - need recommendations for music. I'm as uncool as they come.

But thank you thank you for the friendly support. I admire you for _not_ answering the unanswerable question, and I appreciate your kindness. :-)

*hugs* I hope you're doing well.

Experience whatever makes you happy.
The cliché is that life's too short. However, that happens to be true. Find and pursue the things that you enjoy, because who wants to be miserable? Misery sucks (unless it leads to great art).

Find the balance b/w your own happiness, and you what you do for the ones you love and their happiness.
You can lose yourself in trying to make someone else happy, but then do you just become a supporting character in your own life? I struggle with this one all the time. I swear, sometimes it feels like that's my purpose in life - to help other people along in their purpose... and I'm okay with that, to a point. Finding that balance between me and stepping-stool-me, is something I struggle with all the time.

Overcome the things that scare you, and learn to live with the things you don't want to overcome.I'm okay with never seeing 'The Exorcist' in full. I've seen enough bits that it scares the ever-loving crap outta me

Damn. When did you come up with that list? I'm suitably impressed. It looks like this has occurred to you before.

I see your points. I'm leaning toward the "if i have to be miserable, i should try to write or something because maybe it will produce something good." I'm trying to overcome things and experience things and all that. The constant not knowing is what eats away at me sometimes. Feeling too deeply is a problem, too. But if I could ignorantly say that I know what my purpose is, why I'm here and all that, I might be a trifle less insane. :D

But alas...I think too much. I'm sorry again about your friend. A constant, albeit gut-wrenching, reminder of perspective and priority. *hugs*

Sorry to hear about the sliding mad hatter experiment. But at least you got a picture!

Thanks for stopping by.

The meaning of life is...

... to enjoy being bent over and grabbing your ankles and getting fucked up the ass, because that is the one guarantee: that you will get screwed over and more likely than not, it'll be by someone dumber than you that was born into an easy, comfortable life of luxury and doesn't even notice or care that he/she is ramming a 12 inch diameter cock so far up your ass that you'll be coughing it up for weeks on end.

But maybe I'm just projecting.

[raespeace]

Well, I could enjoy some of that, although I haven't experimented too much in that area. I've had plenty of offers, though. Young guys love that.

As for the screwing without the benefits...yeah, I can feel that from time to time to. Much less enjoyable. And thanks for explaining it all in your usual cheery fashion.

You get style points, though. Especially for the 12 inches. :D

Um...I don't think that I was referring to literal sex, but leave it to you to latch onto that aspect of it. You've a one track mind, don't you?

Anyway, did you watch MNF and see all our snow? We've got about four or five inches hear at our house. I'm telecommuting today so that I don't have to fight all the idiots on the road. No point in getting killed by one of them if I don't have to. How's that for the meaning of life: not dying until it's absolutely unavoidable.

And for the record, who really needs twelve inches when 7.5 will do just fine?

You and I are pretty much in the same place, I think. That's about all I've figured out. I know I want to be happy; I know it's hard to be happy. I think you can't make yourself happy just by trying to be that way. It has to be the result of blindly finding your way through the labyrinth. I'm trying to enjoy the journey...truly, I am. Some days are simply harder than others and you have to ask yourself (or your friends) why.

Humor, you said? The Meaning of Life? Now you knew that I wouldn't be able to resist this, right?

ROTFLMAO

You win the prize.

Every sperm is indeed sacred, although maybe for a different reason to me. :D
