Yesterday Chris and I had a discussion about whether there was a point in finding a point in life. He says that there isn't, because what then? What comes after finding the big truth? He thinks that it's only going to affect others negatively because finding the truth and meaning in one's life is often a selfish goal that can only be achieved if you prioritize your search over others' welfare, and he values living for others more than for his personal gain.I, on the other hand, am not sure. While a part of me wants to live for the sake of enriching others' lives, another part feels drawn towards discovering the ultimate truth to whether the reality that I see now is the real reality. I am open to the possibility of ghosts, of reincarnation, and other forms of after-life, as well as alternatives of this life, and I want to know if I can include it in the vocabulary of my understanding of the world, but this may lead me to lose touch with our current reality. Chris thinks that that's dangerous because I may lose myself to my imagination, and he says that losing myself in such an endeavor is selfish to those who love and want me around mentally and physically intact. In short, he thinks that dwelling too much into such issues may negatively affect my psychology and that that's undesirable. What started off as a discussion seemed to end in a slight debate, but as the usual debates go, the issue remains unresolved. Oh well, back to life as we see it in its most shallow, mechanical form. Maybe there isn't a point after all, and I should just go through life as a passing rite because that's all there is to it. It is so much simpler like that. I envy how he's able to block out things that distract him from living life like everyone else does. That keeps him sane. Alright, time to do up aki portfolio. Bye. |
