MEANING(LESS).

Watching birds in the garden you soon come to realise that all their frantic activity, all their comings and goings, to-ing and fro-ing all fits to a pattern. A pattern repeated year in and year out forever, its all nature. The trees have leaves that the caterpillars feed on, the birds catch the caterpillars to feed their young; if the leaves, because of warm weather, come out too early the caterpillars have a feast day because later in the season the leaves develop a protective sheen that makes them unpalatable to allow their blossom to develop so that the fruits, nuts or acorns grow so that the trees will eventually perpetuate themselves, but if the caterpillars cant feed properly they die and the birds don’t have them and their offspring doesn’t get fed and so it goes, watching these creatures and plants there comes the realisation that all is like clockwork preordained.

Humans are the same. We go to work to get money to buy food to feed our offspring, all our fevered activity from the tycoons and businessmen who are forever striving to make more and more money, why? Because like all of us they are programmed. Each and everyone one of us has to engage in activity that, however it seems, painting pictures, writing books, curing people, collecting rubbish, making millions is all part of nature’s programme.

We are all part of Mother Earth, no matter how intelligent or how stupid we are pre conditioned to do what we can.

Take football. Is this part of the system. Do birds or squirrels play? Some would argue that when all beings are young they play, I assume puppies and kittens are playing when they chase after a ball; or a piece of string. Is this to train them to cope with the exigencies of life. Surely football and cricket and boxing is only an extension of the training for living that primitive man did when he had to hunt for food and fight for his life.

If everything is so programmed and we know it why bother? Because if we don't bother we sink into a state known as depression which makes one ill and lack lustre and no fun to be with and eventually so apathetic that there is no point. But that is the reason one gets depressed because there is no point. But knowing there’s no point and knowing you will get depressed it is best to act as if there is a point and to go about daily life with a sense of immense purpose and therefore feel cheerful and good about oneself and make all around you happy.

And so it goes. The eternal question. There isn’t really a question and there is certainly no answer.
