MY GOD MAN, DON'T YOU SEE?!?! i don't call it absurd and throw it away i call it beautiful and worship it!!!

but you can also likely wrap your head around the idea that everything is nothing and still smile where most other people would start cracking.

then why do you even bother getting out of bed in the morning? what's the point of having the ability to reason? to contemplate? to have critical thought? if we
shouldn't desire to know we
shouldn't have the ability to think for ourselves. admittedly it would be super awesome to going back to being a baby and having someone take care of every single need i might have and 'not desiring to know' answers to bigger questions, but that's just not a realistic perspective.
the answer to 'why?' is irrelevant, hence the purpose of personal belief.
