Today I was thinking a lot more than I ever have and well.. I came across the meaning of life. Well, it isn't the meaning of life per se, it's just what everyone has and what everything can all come down to. So I decided, to benefit the rest of the world, I might as well tell what it is.
I always used to think that you could never get what you wanted because if people wanted the same thing, you wouldn't have it all to yourself and you wouldn't get what you wanted. A lot of people would want the same thing. But I realized, that in that thinking, everyone wants something. Everyone. You may say that you don't want anything. But being alive still means you want something. You are breathing, wanting to breathe, staying alive. And if you say you don't want to live, you are still wanting to die. That's wanting.
Next I want to point out that this idea of obtaining total spiritual enlightenment is a joke. Because if you even try to obtain it, you still want to obtain it. And I guess that makes the monks wrong. Because they want to obtain it. But they never can.
Okay, well, we have figured out you can only obtain spiritual creaminess (sorry, thought it was appropriate) by not wanting. But, you have to stumble upon it by accident... and you would probably have to be dead. So, if you are alive, you can't be perfect, cause you want; you are still alive.
And this all knowing god, that so many people are believing in. He can't escape this, because he must have wanted to create the world, he must have wanted something... or he wouldn't have done it. There was some want, some personal gain.
Let's say I had the answer to the world, and I was in the woods. I held a forum, and let everyone say why they thought they were perfect. My argument would be, you may not want anything at all before, but you sure as hell wanted to tell me that you didn't think you wanted anything. You wanted. Everything is about want.
Wanting is what makes us human beings. We want a mate, someone to keep us at bay, someone there. It keeps us away from the loneliness. Wanting is the key to the human race. It keeps us from perfection. Or maybe it is perfection.
I am sorry if I have freaked the hell outta anyone or if it doesn't make sense. But I can always elaborate more if you want to email me (nathan@macnet.com). This is a result of thinking too much. Please excuse any typos. Straight from my head you know.
