Philosophical: The meaning of life

[Stearmen]

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

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

Rollmops: a rolled uncooked pickled herring fillet.

To each his own, but are there really a lot of rollmops addicts out there selling their mom's china to get money for more rollmops?

In Germany, yes.

I really like vanilla.

 

[Fading Fast]

I really like vanilla.

The flavor? If so, I agree. Have always been a fan. I enjoy chocolate, too, but think I'm an outlier, as the world could probably be divided into chocolate lovers vs. vanilla / butterscotch lovers.

Sure, many people claim to like both, but when the first warm day rolls around and the Good Humor truck rolls up - most people will consistently order one flavor or the other.

At least, I'm luckily strong-minded and not in danger to become a chocoholic or things like that...

von Hildebrand's estimate as to the meaning of life is that preternatural inheritance through conception bequeaths philosophic eros writ in the Platonic Dialogues,
Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and Descartes as a sparkling jewel that can illumine life, or be discarded alltogether; yet is nevertheless capable of scaling truth to attain knowledge of God.

I'm too weak minded for this deep stuff. Gimme some chocolate. Or maybe I just need more coffee.

Gimme some chocolate. Or maybe I just need more coffee.

How about a cappuccino or viennese coffee.....the best of both worlds.

If I am going to ponder the meaning of life, my purpose on this giant globe in an even more giant universe or why pizza taste so incredibly good, I'm going with an Irish coffee so that everything I say and think will seem that much smarter to me.

If they all said the same thing, two of them were copying.

As Number 42 himself once said, "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives."

Ancillary; yet life has intrinsic quality and meaning.

Do you really want to know why we were put here on this Earth?

Anyplace else, we wouldn't stand a chance.

 

[LizzieMaine]

We're here for the same reason the ants are under your refrigerator. That's where the food is.

I believe man was created by a Supreme Being whose planned ultimate destiny for His creation is revealed in sacred scripture.
Man may chose to ignore Holy Writ but he cannot escape either his mortal or eternal fate; sealed within said and testified by an ordered
universe from the highest corona down to microbial mitosis.

For the same reason why humans were put on other planets, to be used as hosts for Goa'uld symbiotes.

Jeff Samardzija, San Francisco Giants pitcher, ex-Chicago Cub, ex-White Sox shaved his ERA down from 4.96 to 3.81 after a colossal meltdown free agency gone-to-his-head season. The resiliency of the human spirit exemplified. Theo Epstein offered a one-year contract after da Melt which he declined and was eventually signed by the Giants.
Wish he had opted for the Cubs' purgatorial bullpen.
