I adore how there's love in all the little things people do.

One of my co workers always shares his cigarettes with me and brings extra cans of his energy drinks to work now because he knows I like to drink some out of his can sometimes.

Another one of my co workers called a worker from another store to come in so I could go home when he saw I was on the verge of a breakdown.

One of them is like a little brother to me, he always messes with me but when he sees me having a hard time, he always sings the chorus to "Break my stride" because he knows I'll sing it back to him.

Another one of them texts me songs that reminds me of him, and is quick to be the first to know when I'm upset and stopd whatever hes doing to come over to give me a hug to help calm me down.

All the little things aren't so little. It's all "I love you, I love you, I love you"

Do you have any Monty Python film hot takes? If so, what are they?

*deep breath*

Holy Grail is their FUNNIEST film

Life of Brian is their BEST film

Meaning of Life is their UNDERRATED film

Life of Brian is relatively tame by today’s standards (like it’s on par with Jojo Rabbit)

Meaning of Life is practically an elongated Flying Circus episode rather than a movie with a plot

Loretta. Is. A. Well. Written. Trans. Character. And. Wasn’t. Meant. To. Be. An. Attack. On. The. Trans. Community.

The dinner party in Meaning of Life is one of Monty Python’s best sketches

Life of Brian is mainly remembered because of the controversial debate that went with it.

Constitutional peasants is the funniest scene in Holy Grail

The Tale of Sir Galahad, even though the plot is extremely sexist, had a very feminist reason for why it was written

Meaning of Life is a Christmas film.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.

this is not important but last weekend there was a surprise birthday party for my friend and i introduced myself and included "i am a philosophy scholar" in my lil intro and several people said "OHH! SO? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?" and i PROUDLY got to inform them that, in my trained and professional opinion, it is to love loudly and find joy in spite of it all

#blah blah blah #i did Not say it Nearly as eloquently as that #but i was Emphatic and they got the gist after several rambling minutes #the meaning of life #i love people

capitalism ruined the meaning of life by brainwashing people into thinking life has any meaning at all

we are born to live, as is everything on this planet and everything on every other planet, the planets themselves were formed purely to exist, because they have the capability to exist in this universe, no other reason.

Plants do not exist to give us oxygen or food or any resources at all, they exist because theyre meant to, they thrive in earths soil and grow purely because the environment allows it to, a seeds only purpose is to grow, and after that the only purpose is to live. the resources from plants are there to aid nature in its growth, to aid the lives of everything naturally on this earth. the same with animals, and the same can be applied to humans.

generosity is the only thing we need to survive, what one person lacks another has spare, a task one person cannot perform another can. we should all aim to give people as many useful things to them as we can, memories, resources, time.

money is a meaningless concept corrupted by greed and neglectful of compassion.

memories cannot be escaped, the one thing we will have for the (majority) of our lives, memories unite all of us, people, animals, plants. memories have no language, they exist within every sense and exist within the lack of senses. history is a mandatory subject based purely on memories and keeping memories alive. memories have more meaning than money ever will.

a million pounds makes you rich in greed.

a million memories makes you rich in experiences, in knowledge and in life.

we exist to live, and we remember the ones that have lived before us, and we will continue to remember the lives of others because the meaning of life is to live it, remember it and keep those memories alive.

“Why do I keep running?”

I ask myself as I stare up at the sky.

“Why do I bother fighting? Why do I keep trying to fight back against this cruel, indifferent world?”

I know that no matter how hard I try, I cannot stop the pain of existence. The suffering, the misery, never seem to leave me. So why do I keep fighting it?

Perhaps it is the struggle itself to find meaning that gives me purpose in life. Perhaps the fact that we will never reach the state of “living” without “suffering” is exactly what makes us human.

And perhaps, in my own weird, twisted way, I do not wish for this suffering to end. I do not wish to stop my misery.

Because I find an odd pleasure in living this way.
