meaningless but amusing

in response to zgrrrl's question about meaninglesness...

joy in lack of meaning? maybe not, but there is joy in being over it. funny thing is, there was a sort of pretentious joy in starting the search for meaning.

guess my suggestion would be to learn to appreciate meaning when it turns up, or even use 'find meaning' it as a way of finding a silver-lining and or amusement when needed.

I agree. I think the trick is probably to not be overwhelmed by the search for meaning -while continuing to search - but also find meaning in other, smaller things along the way. Easy to say.... :)

meaningless meaning even. or would that be meaningful meaninglessness?
