Meaning of Life

What is the Meaning of Life?

A question asked many times by many great people long before you and I could comprehend. Humanity as a whole has been burdened with the gift of a higher plane of thought and intelligence naturally required to live in their world. We've become comfortable to the point where we can just sit there and ponder our own existence.



If I look it up in at dictionary.com defines life as...

Life: noun
1. - the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally.

2. - the sum of the distinguishing phenomena of organisms, especially metabolism, growth, reproduction, and adaptation to environment.

3. - the animate existence or period of animate existence of an individual: to risk one's life; a short life and a merry one.

4. - a corresponding state, existence, or principle of existence conceived of as belonging to the soul: eternal life.

5. - the general or universal condition of human existence: Too bad, but life is like that.

Then of course there is the smart ass answer from the popular book series, Hitchhiker's Guide.



Ugh, that just reminds me that I need to catch up the Hitchiker's Guide Series, I'm only half way through The Restaurant at the end of the Universe (Book 2). Yeah yeah, don't yell at me, I'll get on it now. I had no idea there were actually 6 of these books now....

The 6th written by Eoin Colfer after the original 5 that Douglas Adams wrote. So yeah know, I've done the appropriate research. (Read the Wikipedia article).

I'll finish this post on a later date... Maybe.

Putting meaning into Pac Man

Pac Man may just seem like a simple game...

But I like to put meaning into things that didn't really have one in the first place.(Look at my Story of Poke'mon's "Villain"Gary Oak)

So at the moment I like to over analyse things and making up stories and theories that fit my own prejudices and views of the world and society in general.

So this is what I think of Pac Man…

Yeah this is happening…

Listen to me Bullshit about Pac Man!!!

Pac Man is your every day guy just like you and me.

And each single pellet represents a measurement of time; Let's say they're days. Now each day Pac Man is avoiding Ghosts all his "Life". So he's living his Life day by day avoiding those Ghosts. Now these Ghosts each represent a fear of Pac Man's life, whether it be insecurity, financial, health, rejection, etc. Just the 4 main fear's in his "Life".

So he's basically trying to get enough pellets of days to level up.

So enough days dedicating to leveling up, so each level could represent a great life breakthrough like surviving an accident, winning an award, graduating, holding your son, etc. But he's going to need a way to conquer his fears if he wants to level up.

Now the POWER Pellets is when Pac Man is INVINICABLE and can devour his Demons. These Power Pellets represent a moment of Clarity and/or Strength in Pac Man's life. He is then able to momentarily conquer and defeat his Fears. One Power Pellet could represent strength like... Alcohol, Drugs, Sex, Battle, A Job, A Steady Girlfriend, Whatever, etc.

And each time he conquers a fear it only comes back later....

But to Pac Man occasionally Life gives you a lemon... or an orange... or a cherry... So it isn't all pain and struggle up to those few ultra awesome power pellet moments in your "Life".

Just make sure when you're in power pellet mode in the game of life Pac Man, you conquer more than just one ghost, be nice to get some breathing space away from those ghosts for a while.

There is a High Score at the end of "Life"

I'm still not sure if any of that made sense but... Here's more Scott Pilgrim bullshit

Life Affirming

Good morning Internet, Here's something that'll give you a smile.



Everyday people have trouble getting out of bed and facing the World. I honestly don't blame them sometimes, life can be a real bitch for no reason. Life gets hard at times and you just sit there and ask yourself "Why Me?"

I don't often feel like that but I have been feeling that way lately, just thinking about past opportunities and how I could've handled things better. You know... The 'What Ifs' of Life. That isn't anything new by any sense of the imagination, I'm sure everyone would like to just hop into a Time Machine and go back and fix the past mistakes in their lives.

Then something comes along and sparks me up, just makes me glad to be here in the first place. That life isn't so bad, there are moments that you're just glad you witnessed or shared with someone. There are many analogies and proverbs about Life, some positive, some negative and some that just tell you to endure.

I heard a great line from one of my favourite YouTube directors Khyan; "Some experiences are Awful, but all experiences are valuable."

Khyan has some other excellent thoughts, here they are.



and for the road, an excellent little short film her made called "When Loves Expires", frankly its one of the best pieces I've ever seen posted online. I order you to go to his YouTube page and Subscribe to his account, the man is clearly brilliant.
