On futility

I haven’t posted in a while, as my time has been occupied by (1) school, (2) planning for “the future”, (3) attempts to have a normal eating/sleeping schedule and social life. Unfortunately this normally does not include posts on the blogosphere. However, I am most definitely a night person – the mind clears and functionality returns as soon as the clock strikes twelve. So at this particularly effective time, I’ve decided to speak my mind about a few things I’ve been contemplating recently.

First, futility. Or life in general. Does it really matter? All this education and planning and living for the future? Does it really matter at all if life is so short? Yes, I may be starting to feel old. Sometimes I think it doesn’t, and the only thing that matters is that you enjoy the time you have. To travel. To love. Other days, I think that it does matter. And what would life be without creativity and the pursuit of intelligence? The belief of reincarnation may be encouraging to some people, not for the purpose of consoling against upcoming death, but for the purpose of allowing yourself concessions in this lifetime – I mean, you can always do it next time.

And with that, the rant shall continue….next blog entry, of course.
