09 Feb Day Of Reckoning

Following up on yesterday’s post, as to why much of the blog is about my philosophical “theorizing,” I reflected about a central message of the blog: simply, don’t take your self and things too seriously and you’ll have a wonderful life experience.

Early on with the blog, based on interactions I had with people, I felt many were embracing the message. However, now, I realize that the only thing these people weren’t taking seriously was me and my theorizing. I agree. I don’t take my role in the play of life more seriously than other roles. Yet, taking my self seriously would be funny which is the effect at which the blog aims. Ultimately, my purpose is to get people to laugh, with me or at me. When laughing, people are not taking things seriously.
