Why Be Passionate?, It's Only Going to Be Yanked Away From You Options

What's the point? What's the ******* POINT?!


I graduated with a degree in Information Systems Management (My first passion.) The field has now moved to Asia.


I got a job as a chef (My second passion ...at least, I thought it was.) I was laid off due to the economy (Not much call for a gourmet chef when the world is now grooving to Subway and Mickey D's.)





Why get excited about anything if it's only going to be yanked away from you later on? (I'd love to be able to stay in one place for twenty years. I want something to retire on.)



What is my place in this world?

If it's any consolation, I've been asking myself the same thing since I was old enough to tie my own shoes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hmm.gif)

I dunno, I suppose the point of life is to learn that there really is no point. Eventually you'll die, I'll die, everyone that ever knew us will die, and the very lucky among us will wind up as a footnote in a history book. And then the sun will eventually go nova, engulf and vaporise all the inner planets--maybe Mars will survive, maybe not--and no traces of any life here will remain at all. Eventually the universe itself will go cold and wink out of existence. *shrug*

So really, what *is* the point? My goal is to find some way to get out of this trap, personally. I don't know how I'm going to yet, though...but get there I will. Frankly I wonder if the whole purpose in life thing/death/reincarnation is one hell of a scam--maybe we're all here because we don't know any better--perhaps life is what happens when we piss God off--but maybe that's just me. *shrug*
