when people ask the question "why are we here?" and it's always meant to be so philosophical and spiritual and basically rhetorical (actually, rhetorical would be the wrong word because it implies a question where the answer is already known, it's a given, and to use it here would be to totally wrong on my part and a better word choice would be unimaginable in that it goes beyond the grasp of one's imagination -- thought to have no limits and expand infinitely in all directions) because no one can truly comprehend the complexity of the question and it's always followed up with "how did we get here?" and it too is so far beyond any individual's grasp of understanding and ultimate awareness that it's basically just a conversation stopper because nothing can be said that is worthy of an answer to such an amazingly complex query, don't they realize that when broken down it doesn't necessarily live up to the ethereal and metaphysical stature commonly given to it but in fact is actually the opposite in that it is so incredibly simple everyone overlooks it's true meaning, it's common denominator status, that they have essentially cancelled it out and thusly pay no more attention to it than a remainder in elementary long division and instead should realize it's simplicity, it's commonplace answer and understand that in fact the supposedly unimaginable answer to the question is just that "we are"?

and as a second day's rambling i consider myself done, in that the first day should be "special" and should be in a way that would make the first not necessarily the best but good and of a proper length that creates or sets the mood of ramblings to come, and so staying merely to one topic is not my way of saying that no occurences of any important value to me are occuring, but in fact i have essentially limited myself to a single post, a single thought of the day, more or less, and that should be good enough for me, and like an everlasting gobstopper, everybody has had one and one is enough for anybody and so the precedent is set not to have an expectation that what has happened in the past should show itself in the future again and that an unhappy person is always looking for more while the happy person is one who is content with what they have.
