i'm lovin it

i think. therefore i am. the first time i heard somebody quote descartes on this one, i thought it was a pretty cool thing to say. but recently i have been forced to wonder if it really applies to me. i have to confess that i was having a pretty good time of it when i wasnt forced to ponder on such stuff. but then life doesnt always unfold as we plan it. and thus it was that i was forced to realize the fact that i think not. therefore I am. weird, especially since i always wanted to be an intellectual!

but why do i say all this now. Well primarily because i have a lot of time on my hands :-) also because i want to get the bloody thing out of my system and move on. i don’t want to ponder on big heavy things anymore. i know that the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything is 42 and i am happy in the knowledge. i can take or leave my religion, am just mildly interested in other religions - mainly for the cool quotes they offer. and i like my worldly pleasures.

What i am trying to say is that, it may not be a “meaningful” life, but as macdonald’s say - I’m lovin it.

  • What you are trying to say is "Ignorance is blessing".

  • for all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: "it might have been!"
    a person who includes such a quote on his blog is surely kidding himself when professing ignorance to be bliss. as ETV aptly interpreted.

  • its not abt ignorance at all. ignorance is not knowing. i am speaking abt knowing and choosing not to acknowledge it. it may be a bad thing, it may even be escapism, but it bally works. and it makes a lot of things easier. i would recommend it to a well-known dacoit and a b-grade gult channel ;-)

  • Your posts are getting weirder by the day, or is that they are something Oracle-specific and I just cant relate to them now? Anyway, when do you return to India?
