The modern day life is one of ennui. So survival, overcoming the odds is not a vestige but a metamorphosis of adamism upon which the individual social animal endeavours to beat the odds each day.

At first the world seemed a large place. Life is torture.Fighting is joy. Snow is cold. To fight and to be close to man is to know the way.

All human life is suffering and this suffering is because of ignorance. If we rid ourselves of ignorance we do it by learning, Knowledge is liberation. Last night in my reading I encountered a new passage, the words of the late, great poet A. A. Milne:

Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie,
A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly.
Ask me a riddle and I reply
Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie.

To live is to suffer and yet we go on playing the game therefore to live is to play the game. There's a chance that this could be the death of me but I think I have learned enough about humility that I'll retreat when the time comes.

Undertaking the way of my ancestors I open the door. Even in the dead of winter, cabbage and potatoes should be okay. I prepare a table in the midst of my enemies. My cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I can relax.

On that note one would ask what is the purpose of our lives? Some scholars would ask why. Some skeptics would ask why go on living in the world devoid of meaning. To life is to believe or in the words of Rudyard Kipling:

Fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance running . Or speed walking. Either one is acceptable.

He who is poor in diet is poor in spirit. We are the results of our habits and contentment can be reached without the blaring of trumpets and truth can be found in the smallest of actions undertaken by the owner of goodwill.
