At this point, i'm fully committed to my pledge of silence. Even though the obstacles i'm encountering are steadily growing in number, their effect is lessened by my firm belief that this endeavor is worthwhile.
In the back of my mind, the feeling that there is no all encompassing meaning to life is ever present. It's very possible that the best you can hope for is to accumulate as many anecdotal moments of happiness, any way you can, before your inevitable oblivion. It doesn't matter whether it's by pursuing an idea you deeply believe in, raising a family, or indulging in every hedonistic pleasure that comes your way. As long as you're not harming anyone else, there is no "bad" or "good"... there just "is".
Some believe that becoming involved with something greater than yourself is the best way to experience life. That having a single all consuming passion, is living life to the fullest. But what if this is just a rationalization created by us compulsive types in order to validate our tunnel vision way of living?
Never follow anyone's ideology to the letter. Many people people are filled with sage advice on how to live, while their own lives slide into a state of entropy. Pick and choose your wisdom carefully. Living for something you perceive as being greater than yourself could just be a form of thinly veiled masochism.
