wolven7The Police - [Message In A Bottle]--- Think about it. Even when the universe is ashes and cinders, there will still be there, whatever property allowed it to bring itself into existence, in the first place. Whatever Universal Ego said "1, Exist, Yes, Am." That perception of the Self that-- on rare, rare days-- allows me to think that maybe Descartes knew what the fuck he was talking about. And, the thing is... What's the point? If we have to Keep going, and the universe will Keep going, no matter what we do, or say? Again, where's the Justice?
So i work towards Finding a point, or, Sartre-like, Making a point. Defining the purposes of human life, at the very least My Life. (Billy Idol - [White Wedding]). We're forced to make a purpose, cause that's the purpose... If things go on, forever, there's no meaning to the existence, and no lessons to be learned. It Is simply arbitrary, and fruitless. Not to appeal to emotion, here, but, honestly, can you stand for that? On some levels, the freedom, implied, there, is a beautful thing... The ability to do whatever you want, due to moral nihilism... But shit... Freedom's just another cage, kids... The more we know, and Can do, the less the reason to do anything...
I understood the mentality, last night, of The City, in Transmetropolitan. I was trying to sleep, unsuccessfully, and i was thinking about the people, there. (Tears For Fears - [Head Over Heels]). Changing themselves, and "finding new things to have sex with." It's all an effort to try to put meaning, there... They see that there is none, for them. They are post to the nth modern, and there is Nothing that hasn't been done, before... So they have to try to show that they are new. That they matter. That they mean something. It's bullshit. That's not the way to show that you mean something... When the middle of the story is too long, what do you do? You End it. Someway, or another. You redefine the structure, and start from somewhere nothing's EVER seen, before, or you simply End it, and put it away...
Sure. Maybe we have a few more times around on this here Ka-Wheel, but you know what? It Has To End. Not that it's the nature of the thing, but if want to be anything more than Spokes, ever, It Has to. So that, in those last few moments of eternity, we can look back at ourself/ves, and realise everything that we've done, and appreciate that. Because, honestly, we haven't been able to do that, while we're here...
