I wish you all, whoever might stumble across this tiny corner of the web, a happy New Years.
I am, presently, drunk. Three Coronas, four Jager Bombs, a Surfer on Acid, and half a bottle wine are currently coursing through my system.
It occurs to me, that, at this moment I am happy. I am content. I enjoy my existence in this state. If, however, you were to offer me a button that would perpetuate it, I would refuse. I am in a state of joy, but I am not in a state of fulfillment.
Put simply, I feel good, but that is not enough. There is more to human existence than merely feeling good. Feeling content, or feeling good, is prerequisite to the most important matters of human existence.
There is something else we seek. I do not know what it precisely is. But a finite life spent exciting the parts of our brain responsible for pleasure will not satisfy our natures.
More than pleasure is requires.
Take it from a drunk individual, the sort of individual most likely to throw everything away for pleasure.
This activity is enjoyable, but it does not fulfill. We must go beyond. Go further. Find something else.
In the meantime, though, this is indeed fun.
I wish you all a happy New Years. For when one enjoys himself, he wishes that others will enjoys themselves too.
