I'm happy. I have food and shelter, clothes and many luxuries like tv, video games, etc. I read books and sew shenanigans I can. I'm often disturbed by what feel like random thoughts on the futility and meaninglessness of it all, but I do my best to ignore them. Even if true, then thoughts on meaninglessness are meaningless. I'm here, I'm capable of enjoyment, and giving enjoyment to others, so wtf, just do that!
You can swim in the ocean's turbulent waters as well as fly a plane above them. You don't have to settle for either, no matter the weather. You can also go on land when you tire of the adventure.
Did I do well, Ark?
One can only think about meaning so much....ultimately it must be felt and this is a courageous reaching through darkness. Not a leap of faith, but a step by step walk of purpose.
