What to do?
I can’t figure out what to do with my life. I know that life is short and that fact motivates me to stop wasting time. The problem is that I can’t think of anything that is not a waste of time. Sometimes I’m just a pleasure seeker, sometimes I’m a thrill seeker, is that the answer? Sometimes I just enjoy the cloud formations and the green leaves on the trees and live in the moment. Is that the answer? Sometimes I just distract myself by reading a book or playing a game to make time pass, but isn’t that the worst waste of time? If I look back on my life and think of all the stuff I’ve done so far, what pops up as important? I suppose I could categorize the importance of many life events like marriage, kids, winning awards or whatever, but they still seem so pointless in the view of eternity, and they are in the past which is gone forever right?
So I sit here and ponder the possibilities. I write this down in hopes that I will figure something out. Is this why every religion exists? To answer these questions? Did some person come up with an answer that makes pretty good sense and then a religion was created around it? I’d be happy to join up to a religion with a good answer – are there any out there? I just can’t go for the whole “things will be better after you die” routine. That is just such a cop out, but I can see how it can get you through the day if you can actually believe it.
Tomorrow is a holiday so I don’t have to work. I’m happy about that, but at the same time, what should I do when I’m not at work? Does it matter? Back to the beginning again – be a pleasure seeker and a thrill seeker and just have some fun?
