The Meaning Of Life (A Cinephiles Take)

I have this philosophy about life, Whenever I look up and find myself in a situation that blows me away even on the simplest level (more and more often as of late) I think "If anybody would have told me a year ago that I'd be (insert random event) I'd have told you that you were bullshitting me. Life has an unpredictable "IT" factor that can't really be pegged but it definitely keeps us on our toes. It's this unstably stable that IT factor that I'm gradually learning to lean on as a way to live my life. I think people spend way to much time worrying about/trying to control the future only to be dissapointed when things dont turn out exactly the way that they want. Now thats not saying that I don't live my life with some kind of plan in mind I have broad sketches for where I want to be and how I want to get there but at the end of the day chaos in many forms reigns supreme. Honestly... thats life, people always say that they want to ask God what the meaning of life is, and it's easy.....




........... just fuckin live and in the midst of your living and cavorting around youll find a place, trust me. And live the way you want to, dont let anybody bring you down with critiques and adjustments because they don't understand. From what I've learned people are upset by change and whats different (initially) but generally one of two things happens, (A) Eventually people come to acknowledge something different for what it is and accept it or (B) It becomes the norm and everyone follows it until theirs a new norm. So why spend so much time figuring out how to live when you just can. Embrace your idisycracies and fuckin live......................................................

Oh Fred, you philosopher you. I have to agree that people are damn silly. They spend so much money, energy, and time trying to control every aspect of their lives when in the end the beauty of life is chaos. How uninspiring it is to map out your future down to the year you're going retire when ANYTHING from an earthquake to a spiritual awakening, to meeting your soulmate can happen in the next minute. I think change is wonderful and healthy. Change indicates growth. Don't be afraid of change but trust in the possibilities that it has to offer- exciting and endless adventures. With change you will never get bored. There is so much to learn, to love, to see, and to hear. Get up and be one to inspire change in the world!
