Meaning in Life

[doppelgaenger]

I actually want to lie down each individual brick, and glue them all together. The first one will probably be of cardboard. I don't know if drywall would work well enough for what I have in mind.

Drywall crumbles easily, especially if you are thinking about small pieces.

Lego? That could be fun too!

Last summer I had to do something similar to a project, cut 5kgs of terra cotta clay into individual bricks and then put it all together (mortar being replaced by PVC glue) into arches, domes and various experimental brick modules for walls.

Bricks are good fun. Maybe white clay would do the trick if you're going for a "stone" appearance?

I feel exactly the same about law. The thing I dig about my job is the conflict. There's a lot of humanity in conflict.

My old job, I spent the majority of my time writing about the oil industry. Not much humanity there.

I think having a purpose is the most important driving force in anybody's life. Everybody has a purpose, if not find one! We all need a reason to get up every morning. To do something meaningful.

Having a purpose, is a good way to get motivated also!

So here I am. It's 6:30 in the evening. I see no end to the work ahead of me. Probably won't get home until 10 or 11 tonight. To top it all off, I'll probably work Saturday and Sunday as well. Don't know when I'll get a day off again--and when I do, it'll probably be spent down the street at the local radio station doing side jobs.

And I'm having entirely too much fun. This is so ****ed up. I'm turning into exactly what I swore I'd never become: a dedicated worker. Despite all my opinions, despite my rebellious nature, I'm probably more prepared to start a family than any of my friends.

This is seriously bizarre.

So everyone seeks a purpose in life, right?

Yes, I have purpose in life. I'm already living part of my dream in my career field.

But I dream of opening a camp and opening a shelter for women, someday. I think about it all the time and I know that I will have money to do it someday. I also want to write book about my past and some of my current. I am not good writer but someone would help me.

I think having a meaning in life is very important. We are here today, but we will definitely be gone tomorrow or the days after that no matter how much we want to post pone it. We are here for a very brief segment of time and this is the only experience and the only chance we'll ever get. What we have is so incredibly precious and yet so few people realize it. Get out of life as much as you can, while you still can.

For me, life and its meaning revolve around departing this world and leaving it better than when I arrived.

I want to leave this life, having someone to take my place that is a better person than I was. Whether its my children, my wife, a friend, just someone who can better what I did.

I want to look back and know I did absolutely everything I could with the time I had. I never want to look back and wish I had done this or that. I will embrace my passing with open arms if I have done everything I set out to do.
