Its amazing really. We know so little yet so many people insist on filling their heads with third rate meaningless pseudo-knowledge. It's like there is a huge big long table filled to brimming with all types of delicious goodies, but everybody is scrabbling round on the floor looking for roaches and spiders to eat.

And you can see it in our world? Can you give at least one clear example?

greymare · 06-06-2008, 10:37 AM

boys, boys, boys.
now listen, to me, Im the mum and I know best
what may seem meaningful or less to one person is quite possible to be the exact opposite to someone else.
Do you not agree???
so, now you guys are just gonna lock horns ( as it were) and not get anywhere.
take a breath,
exhale,
do it Tao

agree to disagree.........??????????????

each of you are correct and each of you are not.
now, if you cant play nicely, youll have to go to your room

I accept his he has his opinion... But look at it... He says that people find meaning... In the meaningless... MEANING, that which he believes inferior, or of no worth... HAS to be of no meaning or worth to another... That is pathetic lol... And it defeats his own logic..... "Finding meaning in the meaningless..." Yes, that is exactly what many do, and that kicks ass....

And you say to some there is meaning and to some there is not Grey... So the fact stands nothing is meaningless....

Someone some where finds value within it.... And that is good....

"one man's junk is anothers treasure..." something along them there lines?

A pictorial metaphor...

17th Angel · 06-06-2008, 10:44 AM

too small? A bridge? How is that meaningless?

greymare · 06-06-2008, 10:48 AM

locking horns, butting heads

(she throws her hands up in the air and exclaims......."I give up..."

17th Angel · 06-06-2008, 10:50 AM

lol I am not locking horns.... I know from text you cannot read another, I am perfectly cool and calm as usual... Just trying to show that to find meaning in the meaningless renders meaningless meaningful... ya dig.
