Buddha babble on Real Life Fiction

MEANING LESS

Everyday, we struggle to make our lives meaningful. Every day we spend is an exercise in finding our true purpose in life - in pushing towards it if we already have an idea what it is. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing profound about finding life’s meaning through daily rituals. Sometimes we realize our personal legend while going through the motions, other times we have to stop and muse about what we’re doing with our lives – sometimes things and ideas click, most of the time, they don’t. But that should not stop us from living.

So we try to keep moving forward…sometimes we don’t succeed, sometimes it takes a while to gain an inch, but we continue the struggle. Through death, through absurdity, we push forward. Even if things do not make sense to us, our best way of coping is by looking past the problem (not ignoring it, mind you): seeing a future where the meaninglessness has either been 1) solved (given meaning) OR 2) has resolved itself (the meaninglessness resolved through rendering it meaningless/unimportant). There are truths that are harder to take than others…this is probably because it takes longer before one gets used to them.

If men make lists of women they want to date- from the easy boobsy to Ms. Smart and Sultry, women also make lists of men who are ideal AND also the not so ideal. Believe it or not, if women often complain of falling for the wrong man or Mr. adventurous Bad Boy, the one man women never want to go on meeting and hanging out with is the "needy and clingy" man.

Every 7PM for three times a week, my muscles sing like Barry Manilow where “Two old friends meet again..” in almost screeching agony as I rediscover muscles I never thought I had in areas existed or I believed were long lost to me.

For those of us seeking to trim down from fatter to just plain fat, or wanting to build a more buff set of buns or just wanting a more sensible healthy lifestyle that doesn’t involve self-starvation, boxing is the hip and fun alternative to all those painful weights and vibrating belts and tasteless salads.
