Don't mean shit
• Richard Evans Lee
Most people asking for the meaning of life really want to be told the purpose of life, which is a subtly different thing. It seems clear to me that there really isn t one, but equally clear that we shouldn t be in the least bit troubled by this. Anyone tempted to think that God has a design for it all should be urged to remember that there is a species of frog that spends something like eleven and a half months of every year asleep, buried in the sand in Arizona, or some such place, because otherwise it would burn to death. This can t possibly be in accordance with any sensible plan. And I m sorry, boys, but telling me it s ineffable just won t cut it as an explanation.
