are you happy? i think i am, but i find it incredibly difficult to feel that way. it’s self-justified in the usual existentialist way, in that i wonder if i ever can be happy. what with all the misfortune in the world, sure… or, more realistically, with the looming concept of my own mortality. there have been times where i truly believed i would live forever. either through some biological fluke that makes me ultra-special-cool+3, or via the convenience of quantum theory. eg - the fact of my existence, and the observation of my existence, has put into motion the need for that perspective to continue; thus, in my lifetime immortality will be developed.
of late, i’m having a harder time believing in it. i guess i’m having a harder time believing in permanence.
here’s tom with the weather…
