how would you define your existence?

existence is such a funny fleeting thing. defining existence can be difficult. i have more trouble defining 'meaning'. that, to me, seems far more arbitrary, and ones understand of it completely warps how was sees 'existence'

the thing that i find about most people is that everyone is just trying to make their way through life and they are all scratching through existence. we all hurt each other because our own meaning systems and our own selves become more important than other peoples. what most people want is to transcend their menial existence--to be above and to be better, and unfortunately, most people are willing to step on other people to do that. but thats not transcendence. its more akin to engaging with the non-transcendental. its getting sucked into meanings that are really not meaningful at all.

its very difficult because we are all humans and we are social creatures. we've been breed through millenia with desires for competition. we can try to escape these social games, but that wont benefit us either.

ug. life. a neverending series of paradox and difficulty
