Look, this thread is about how each of us resists this despondent nihilism where you just want to give up, and what it takes for you to make it through the day. MyPaperHeart, I wasn't trying to one up you or push you away, I enjoyed our convo. The facepalm was because of the person who posted after you.

Dechan, feel free to come back anytime. Amicus, even though we might disagree, if that's what gets you through these existential crises, more power to you. Me, I'm searching, and simply sharing what I find through my own inner logic. It's like...something right at the tip of the tongue that I can't quite fathom, but I can feel the answer is there somewhere.

I don't want this thread devolving into gossip. My posts tend to be scientifically-based because that's my method of searching for meaning. Everyone searches in their own way. And it helps to know I'm not alone.

Now, everyone get out of their chest, have a gargleblaster, and relax. Let's open our minds and tune into the universe. No matter what it says.
