Existing Thoughts or Thoughts on Existing

Life is infinitely better for having music in it...

My view of life is one of extreme measures. My feelings towards the meaning of things does hop back and forth..but I am not fickle, just undecided...and that is how I am happiest...In between things. I look at my life and that is how I see it. Like a rollercoaster..a really crap one that goes off the rails sometimes...and although it's the worst, most common cliche, I'm going to stick with it..because it's true. Sometimes it's exciting..and sometimes I feel sick...but I'm on it until the end nonetheless. I'm never scared of it ending though. Endings are obvious...they must exist to give us an incentive to continue and to begin again. When I think about our brief existence I feel exhiliarated by the uncertainity of our time frame. I mean, you have to stop and think about these things. Not, would I be satisfied if I died tomorrow? That's stupid. It is the human condition to never be satisfied. We will always crave something more be it knowledge, wealth, love, experience... There is a certain amount of fatalism in the way I view the world but I do believe there is a reaction to our actions, a point to our existence. No matter now small or great, each individual will have some impact on the world. The mistake people make is believing that the result of that will always be hugely evident; they go off seeking their 15 minutes, believing this will give meaning to their lives. You will effect hundreds of people over the course of your existence, thousands, and your effect will not always be positive. You should take that knowledge and responsibility seriously and build the best life you can for yourself, knowing that it will end. If at the end of your life, you are largely happy with the choices you have made, well that's the best you could ever hope for..
