There's a person sitting on a bus on the left side looking at a cliff. There's another person sitting on the right side, looking out at the sun through the windows. And they both say the same thing underneath. Life has no meaning. So you can either focus on the clouds and the sunshine, or you can focus on the rocks and the dirt and the dismay. This is actually it. And there's a lot of maturity that has to come in order for somebody to realize that God is everything and nothing at the same time. And the meaning that we are living here is the meaning we create. The whole point of why we're here is. Is to learn how to unconditionally love ourselves and others. It's a fucking brutal school. That's why we're not supposed to do it alone. These little big things are what the meaning of life truly is. So you get what you focus on, y' all.
