the noise and the folly

[benapplejacks]

how do you put meaning into your life?
for six months at a time i think i'm starting to figure it out, and then i lose my footing and start from scratch again.
i'm going to interview kids who are into all that underground music stuff that they seem to live for...i want to know what they're living for. please tell me.

I don't know if it's up to us to put meaning in our life. I think it just happens.

I personally feel like the quest for "meaning" only brings us more feelings of emptiness and frustration. But that's just me.

Maybe it means i'm satisfied with mere contentment, but then I never feel like I'm missing out on some significant part of life.

This is one of those enigmatic questions where I could change my mind at any moment, and feel the complete opposite of what i just said. So you can't really take what i just said seriously.

Bye.

Does anyone really know?

What if the kids who are into that underground music haven't found the meaning that you're searching for? What if they aren't actually living for anything except getting lost in the words of another lost soul like themselves? If we were given the meaning that our lives should revolve around so young then what would be the point of living. Maybe the meaning is to find meaning. To forever search for a reason to continue.

That's just my opinion.
