Everything really is just a breath of consciousness. I dont want to get caught up in

It seems that everything I seek. Its just pointless. It just turns out to b some guy that is easily debunked by science. All peoples complicated theories.. Theres really no point if its the ultimet truth you want to seek. Everything just seems to be a reflection of my doubts or hopes about reality.

I want something fundamental. Im getting more sure that there is no truth what so ever. That statement that there is no truth is the only truth.. but even if you make that statement subject to bein not true then it still leads back to the statement.

This guy is the losest I have found to explaining this

Look what I just found.. this always happens. This is my main problem. It keeps happening. Everything I find. theres always some crazy oposeing story. In this case the oposeing story Is actually scary.

Hi there,

Do you have a favorite game that you play?

I enjoy:

1) Scrabble
2) Crosswords
3) Chess
4) Table Tennis
5) Tennis
6) Shooting basketball hoops with friends
7) Monopoly
8) Trivial Pursuit
9) Boggle

Do you have games that you like? Which ones? Why do you like them? Did you have games that you played when you were young? Which ones? What did you enjoy about them?

Rich

I like most games that life can provide.

apart from the mystery of life itself. all the other silly ego based games. Yeah there amazing. relationships, making money and spending it, getting from point A to point B. Always up for a challenge.

What I never enjoy is. Being confused about death, life and reality itself. And whenever I feel I get somewhere I find out that person is scamming you or in the case of this guy, creating a cult to forfill his sexual fantasys :L

This game is the game I really do not enjoy. Its a game of snakes and ladders but there all snakes. Every time. And if you do go up a ladder. You just see a furthered horizon of space. A game with no chance in winning.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I agree there are many games that are tough. Many that I would rather not play. Are there specific games that you play and really enjoy. Sports, board games, word games? Ever play jump rope or anything like that? Hide-and-seek? Do you ever play with children? Are there any games like this that you enjoy? Really enjoy?

Rich

I cant say im into any childhood kinda games. I dont even play video games. but they have been replaced with other games of sorts. as I said.

well.

I enjoy fashion? thats a game... I guess. It feels as im always developing and getting to compare myself to other people. there are lots of things I do for fun just for the sake of fun. If thats what you mean. Yes

so yeah. I play games. I enjoy playing games.

Hi there,

Absolutely, fashion is definitely kind of a game. Young children start with dolls. And they clothe the dolls and learn to have fun dressing the dolls (guys might play with toy soldiers), and doing things.

So what is your favorite game to play? A have a few. Right now it is table tennis. But I don't play table tennis to win. I play table tennis just to enjoy learning how to hit the ball consistently, hit the ball hard, hit the ball with lots of spin, return really hard hits. Those kinds of things. Here is the way I would like to play table tennis:



I enjoy it a lot!

Rich

That is the whole idea.

In Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus, he likens the absurdity of life to Sisyphus who must constantly roll the same rock up the hill, only to have it roll down again, in an endless cycle. Camus concludes, that we must image Sisyphus as being happy.

And such is life. The table tennis are playing very hard and training very hard, but imagine them having fun at their game. I love playing table tennis even though the training is hard. It is how I amuse myself. It is how I pass the time. It is how I meet and share with other people. It is how I enjoy my life.

Imagine what you are doing, the game(s) that you are playing - as fun! And smile!!!

Sounds like someone needs to read Hesse's Siddhartha.

Get the Barnes and Noble version because the footnotes were done by Robert Thurman.
