It seems as though the only reason for our existance is to discover what can make us feel unique and see things from a different perspective than others. A lot of people try to find comfort in their life and find a path to make them feel significant, and as a result, mock others who try to find significance somewhere else as out of touch with reality or insane. People pretend to be humble and benevolent, but they are really not. I don't know. Maybe this is just me being overanalytical.

My counselor, trying to be polite, said, "Is it possible you're overthinking this a bit?" and I said, "Oh hell, I overthink everything!" :lol:

I think this is true to an extent.

As I've stated many times before, we are a great group of people!

Since when did life make sense?

Advice?: Go insane now, it saves a lot of time.

Reasons exist in the mind. That reason was assigned to you when the DNA told the proteins how to connect the neurons.

That's very true. I've always had trouble making sense of the World. I can't make any sense out of how things can change as quickly as they do. I have a hard time making sense of the Wars that are going on, right now. I have a very hard time making sense of how Customer Service Reps can be rude to customers who are different from the Mainstream, and how the type who do that are usually unkept in appearance, giving off a Hippie-like appearence. That happened to me, today. I have a hard time understanding how it is that I'm becoming more conservative in a World that's becoming more liberated, or maybe I was always conservative, but I've never really noticed, until I've lost something that's very dear to me, last December. I'm sure that you all know what it is, by now. :wink: I hope to make sense of the World, one day soon.

The world often doesn't make much sense to me either. But I plan to stay in it as long as I can because the alternative seems dull.

Why is this news? Welcome to the real world. Just start resenting humanity now, it comes with a decent chance of homicide but that's not really all that bad.

I don't think life is supposed to make sense.
