Not the 'love is an imposssible pursuit'.<BR/><BR/>Why are we doing this? Why are we here? What's the freakin' point?<BR/><BR/>I asked the same thing in the beginning of May <A HREF="http://narcheska.blogspot.com/2006/05/rat-race.html" REL="nofollow"> The Rat Race </A><BR/><BR/>Maybe there is no point. Maybe we're the ones putting meaning and expectations into that simple and beautiful thing called <I>life</I>.<BR/><BR/>One of the best books I ever read is called <I>Buddhism for Busy People</I> by a man who now lives in Perth. It presents Buddhist themes in a simple and easy to understand manner, and even if you're not a Buddhist, the ideas are very helpful to live a more peaceful and satisfying life.<BR/><BR/>I don't believe this questioning is related to Winter. I feel it's a worldwide phenomena - think <I>Da Vinci Code</I> or even Dan Brown's other book <I>Angels and Demons</I> which says science is the new God.<BR/><BR/>We've lost our faith and are now looking everywhere to find something to fill that hole within ourselves.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05598765412657153988noreply@blogger.com
