I really want some meaning. it used to be easy to toss it off. now it's harder and harder. you have to navigate just to find something that has nourishment. it's the absence of nourishment. what do you do in place of nourishment? it's usually junk. either it's junk food or junk clothes or junk ideas.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. they can be a powerful influence for good when they're on the positive side, and they can and do make you physically ill when they're on the negative side. i don't eat junk foods and i don't think junk thoughts! let me tell you, junk thoughts can destroy you even more quickly than junk food. junk thoughts are something to be wary of.

As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.

I think there are two ways of eating, or cooking. one is restaurant food and one is home food. i believe that people have started making food that is easy that you want to eat at home. when you go out to a restaurant, you want to be challenged, you want to taste something new, you want to be excited. but when you eat at home, you want something that's delicious and comforting. i've always liked that kind of food - and frankly, that's also what i want to eat when i go out to restaurants, but maybe that's me.
Believe Home Thinking
Let us thank god for having made us this gift of death, so that life is to have meaning; of night, that day is to have meaning; silence, that speech is to have meaning; illness, that health is to have meaning; war, that peace is to have meaning. let us give thanks to him for having given us weariness and pain, so that rest and joy are to have meaning. let us give thanks to him, whose wisdom is infinite.
