as Pink Floyd said:
"all you do, and all you see,
is all your life will ever be"
which is, in my opinion, an affermation of your lifestile rather than a condemation (well, if i could spell that word it would be).
ultimately, you and i will spend our years upon this earth, and then what? i think that you and i and the untitled/LC friends all understand that life is all a passing event. where and how you pass it is up to you. there is no scorecard, no trophy, no congratulatory speach. if you do really well for youself, you might be another name high-school students will have to memorize, and maybe even develop an acceptable opinion (love/hate) about.
but,
i spend many of my days before a computer. if i change the language interface to japanese and move myself to japan, have i really changed anything? sure, its a different view out the window, but will i notice?
besides Tobot, you writing a message talking about your lack of adventure onto a messageboard you programed yourself. that takes a sence of adventure, to reach out into the regulated fires of electrons and pull back forged code. that you are having mental adventures as opposed to physical ones is no big deal, really. the point is you arnt sitting there doing data entry, hating your job and your life, and never really going anywhere.
i saw a moth get hit today in class. the impact messed up one of its wings, and kept flying frantic, tight circles, slowly making its way up to the light where it spazed out for a while before dieing. i think thats what im trying to say. |
