Why bother figuring out
what the truth of life is? Other than
satisfying my curiosity, what is it good for?
And, how can I know whether my ideas hold water anyway? Why not just cut out all of this intellectual
theorizing and get on with it?
Here’s what I think.
I want to have a good time
while I’m here on the planet. I want to
have the best time that I can have. I
want to feel good. The best way that I
can do that is to know what I’m dealing with so I can make the best moves to
get me what I want. Simple.
I want a map, a nice clear
map. I want to cut down on the wrong
turns and get to the good place.
A clear picture of reality
is that map.
If my map is good, I’ll
find out right away. If it’s not good,
I’ll change it. It’s my map and I can do
what I want with it. I can fool around
with my map until I get to where I want to be.
Even if it’s not perfect, it’s better to have a map than not to. At the very least, I make better guesses that
way.
What about you?
