PrintableLleeLlee said: IrresistibleB1tch said: well, yes and no (imho). there is a role for each individual to play in an overarching concept, and that does not always equate with individual happiness. but i do believe that the goal is to reduce suffering, and what better way to do that than through living in happiness, even in the face of pain. I agree there's a bigger picture and we are cogs on the wheel so to speak lol. But to address the question of personal happiness and meaning I think that while meaning can enlighten you and lighten the burden, knowledge does that, I'm interested in the concept of the meaning of life as an external thing, something bigger than us. I think it was interesting that you said "who knows what the meaning of life is ," that we dont know what it is of course, but maybe a part of that bigger picture is accesible to us through our personal experiences. What kind of ever-lovin', hippy bullshit is this? | |

I think that I can honestly say that I'm much happier these days....getting a lot of my personal and emotional life together and taking more of an interest in doing what I can to make those that matter most to me happier.... He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

Of course I can....and all the other emotions of the world....but they are all related to your state of mind and existence in the world.  The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them. -- Mark Twain.
