Philosophical: The meaning of life

[Trenchfriend]

Maybe, just carrying (shopping)bags and from time to time visiting the toilet?

Should we really not think too much about it??

I'm just end-consumer and that's it?

Philosophy "The ball is round!"?

Jackie Robinson seems to be considering Kant's quip, "Reason does not create its laws from nature, but dictates them to her."

Wouldn't it be funny if the hokey-pokey really was what it's all about?

But Number 8 Did!

The answer to the meaning of life is that life has no meaning. It is just the result of circumstance.

Cubs' failed clinch against the Brew crew last night raises again the phantom curse of the billy goat spectre, a philosophic allusion to dashed dreams and hopes; all of which dwell in faith
and the hearts of Cub fans everywhere, but particularly those Chicago southside residents who must endure and persevere through year-after-year of abject failure in the shadow of the White Sox.
And then there is the infamous curse again, tearing heart and soul. Victory, however elusive will be won.

I'm 32 now. Should I accept, just to be end-consumer?

That's, what I'm often think about.

I don't know what this means "Should I accept, just to be end-consumer?"

 

[Lean'n'mean]

I don't know what this means "Should I accept, just to be end-consumer?"

" According to the online Business Dictionary, an end consumer is "(an) end user, and not necessarily a purchaser, in the distribution chain of a good or service." What this means is that the people who select and buy a product or service (customers) are not necessarily the same as the people who ultimately use or consume it (consumers). Customers may buy products which are not for their own use; consumers may use products, but not purchase them."

. Should I accept, just to be end-consumer?

That's, what I'm often think about.

What are the alternatives ?

Thank you, so what is Trenchfriend saying when he says "Should I accept, just to be end-consumer?" What products are being bought for him / how would he change that? I see you, too, are asking that in your follow up post.

At least, I'm luckily strong-minded and not in danger to become a chocoholic or things like that. They can't really addict myself. Maybe, I could be proud of this.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Rollmop addiction can be far more devastating than that of chocolate.

Rollmops isn't cheap enough, to eat much of them.

Consider me a lost soul then, since I'm an evil chocoholic.
