Pondering...

Where do we come from? Where do we go when we die? And what are we supposed to do while we’re here? It amazes me how many people obsess over those first two questions and never really stop to consider the third one. “What the hell am I supposed to be doing with my life?” I watch MTV and I think to myself, “More people need to be asking themselves this question.” Tonight, on my birthday, I am contemplating my life and my mortality. I'm not sure what I am supposed to be doing with my life, and I can't help but get the feeling that I should be doing more. Maybe that's the point; maybe it's the drive to do more that makes our lives worth living. Or maybe the point of life is to just feel like you've found a point. Or maybe the point is to make more money than god and then die of a coronary in your gigantic swimming pool.

I agree - more people should ask themselves that question!

I like your drawings.

My tentative answers to these questions:
Where do we come from? Hopefully not a broken condom, but that's probably where I came from, and it's not so bad.
Where do we go when we die? This question rests on a false presupposition.
What are we supposed to do while we're here? Probably no thing in particular, but to pass the time I recommend finding joy and spreading it.
