So I just happened to be talking to a friend about the meaning of life over hookah this evening, and I figured I’d share his opinion since I’m curious as to whether you all will buy into this.\u00c2\u00a0 Friend (let’s call him Al) tried to convince me that the point of everything is to follow through with some sort of natural progression of life.\u00c2\u00a0 For instance, Al tells me he thinks that people should eventually have kids and have a good home\/property to leave to their kids so follow the “natural order of things.”\u00c2\u00a0 Like, human beings are designed to have raise offspring.\u00c2\u00a0 Or something.\u00c2\u00a0 To make something new, and add to the world, and leave something of yourself that is permanent. The whole point was to leave behind something, to accomplish something that transcends your life.\u00c2\u00a0 Like inventing the cure to the common cold for the good of mankind.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s sort of late (or rather early) so I feel like I’m not really making coherent sentences.\u00c2\u00a0 I told Al that I didn’t care what I left behind–screw the kids.\u00c2\u00a0 (what kids, are we serious?)\u00c2\u00a0Al was also trying to convince me that it was “natural,” for human beings to believe in a God, or some sort of deity.\u00c2\u00a0 And even if logically it doesn’t make sense, it must be a good idea because it’s human\u00c2\u00a0instinct.\u00c2\u00a0 Or something.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a long complicated discussion but it’s all about the meaning of reality, which is what we are talking about, so what do you guys think?<\/p>\n
I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow and realize that this blog looks like it was written by a four year old.<\/p>\n
I’ll be honest, the real point of this blog is that hookah is amazing and inspires good discussions, so you should all get on that.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll take you.\u00c2\u00a0 Promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
