Oh my goodness, what am I to make of the pre-aptitude test task for arch?I'm asked to reflect upon an article about Chinese philosophy, and that's fine on it's own because I'm into a bit of philosophy...but it's phrased in a weird, academic, and *intellectual manner.
*'Intellectual' is, in the definition of Edward De Bono, pioneer of lateral-thinking, the art of making things seem more complex than they actually are by the use of jargon and difficult words.
I need a GP teacher, although it's impossible to get one at 3.07am on a random Thursday dated 13-Apr-2012.

By the way, I now understand the fundamental concept of Absurdism. Life is indeed meaningless and I've come to accept that. I would rather have stuck to my Absurd state though, because I was so much more motivated to accomplish stuff then.
Ultimately, life is meaningless because all it does is to maintain a birth-death cycle. It's about renewal. There is no Ultimate Truth to discover. It is but a process that is mandatory to all living creatures.
...but that doesn't mean I'll belittle it. Life is still precious, meaningful or not. Life is precious because it is personalized and because it is a vessel in which our Selves can develop. I like to think of my Self as what my experiences have moulded me into. My Self is all my memories, all others' impressions of me, my mindset, perceptions, skills, personality etc.
okay enough blabbering. I have to stop myself from pouring out my incoherent rambles here. Time to find out what that archi article is about.
