@Amor69Fati Yes, the same little lass once went into the office of the warden in our Retirement complex and "artfully" disturbed the sand in a little zen garden on the ladies desk. Ying and yang have never fully recovered!

Exactly! It wasn’t a judgment of your writing, it was a truthful admission of my mental capacity to process such deep philosophy, not only pre-coffee, but most of the time now. I have done decades of deep thinking, and reading the Buddha, The Bible, The Vedas, etc; I eventually found myself going in circles, and my mind grew tired of it all. Now, I just am. That’s enough for me, but I know others need to take their own personal journey to find truth and meaning of existence. I came to the tentative conclusion that every thing is meaningful, while at the same time, it’s all meaningless. Just my 2 cents. Enjoy your day! @SW-User

@Carissimi Well, that's it really. I find waffling like this therapeutic, if others gain anything then OK. Strangely, "meaning" and "meaninglessness" co-exist. When we settle upon a precise meaning, a final conclusion, we have congealed and can only act and live second-hand.

As a Pure Land myokonin, Saichi, has said:- "Not knowing why, not knowing why! That is my support, not knowing why! That is the namu-amida-butsu!"

I'm a quite simple guy.

Thanks

Agree. Expression of self is therapeutic for many. @SW-User
