The meaning Of Life

Master? …
What is the meaning of life? …

The meaning of life
Is struggle and strife
And at the end,
Death,
Holding a bloody knife.

This poem is completely fictitious.
You only thought you saw it.
It was an hallucination.
It does not exist.

Smiling here, to let you know, I saw it.... in its so-called non-existent state.

"The meaning of life
Is struggle and strife
And at the end,
Death,"

This is certainly true...but there is also more!  Enjoyed!

Jaime -- and who hasn't asked this question?  I liked the way you asked and answered despite the fact that on a good day, I think there's more to it than that!

Therefore what you are saying
that there is a purpose to the struggle
and strife heren described as life
and Death is a reward as the granting of
a degree which implies that all the so named
struggle and strife were as learning devices
that one might graduate to a more learned
aspect called Death
and since near all graduates of any school
swear ninety percent learned lies unused
then your argument for not seeing this
manifests in the utter uselessness of those
classes termed struggle and strife
Reinforced by the fact that near all universities hand out blank scrolls at so called graduation hence in not seeing this
we have no need to sign up for classes
struggle and strife since Death is in itself
merely a blank paper with the obvious implications, then absolute self-indulgent hedonsitic activities should earn us precisely the same unseen reward
well I did not see myself do a single shameful thing in my entire life's education
I heartily endorse the disappearing ink concept, it no doubt would have upped my GPA

Jaime, I have missed your writings.  My days are filling up so rapidly, and I needed a breather, a quencher...and this did just that.  It is when we learn to ask the questions, that we must stop, and listen.  Sometimes, just sometimes, we try to fill in the answers, ourselves.

Buzz!  Wrong.

We need to listen!
