Hi Adieu,

That's a good point about existentialism. I noticed that Candybear made a reference to Camus on another thread, so there seems to be something in the air at the moment.

For years I stuck to the the 'create my own meaning' line. Then I had a bad depression and tried to become a Catholic. That didn't work so now I am back to square one.

So, the world exists, rather puzzlingly and sometimes painfully, and we are in it. What to do about that? Nothing.

These days I am going with Zen, just taking life as given, and not trying to inellectualise it into something. I'm not trying to create my own meaning, I'm just going with what is presented without pushing or pulling against it.

Some people just call it acceptance. Sometimes I laugh at it (Camus' 'scorn' ) but most of the time I just look at it, and those are the best times.

Cheers, Myzen
