Meaning Lost It’s Meaning

The word meaning has lost it’s meaning.

 

“Meaning” became a catch-all for all kind of pointless activity.

 

The more distracting an activity – the more happily we call it “meaning”.

When we are completely dulled and distracted and confined – we rationalise the entire thing as inevitable, meaningful and useful.

 

We talk about *meaning* as though we all have such a great idea of what it is, where to get it and where to keep it.

We talk and it remains talk – because it has nothing to do with meaning.

 

*Meaning* is not some badge of honour. In our culture it really is a badge of delusion. There is the miracle of the REAL life at your hands every day. Instead, you distract yourself with some ideological “meaning”. It’s a Badge of escapism.

 

Meaning will not come into being when there is delusion.

In delusion your “meaning” is delusion.

 

Forget your pompous goals and their “meaning”!

The meaning at this point is to rid yourself of delusion. The meaning is to find what is true. And otherwise – live simply.

 

Don’t talk so much about meaning. It’s not a cure-for-all. Self-knowledge is. “Meaning” is a great way of escaping the truth about your suffering.

 

Please be simple and peaceful.
