WORTHINESS AND MEANING

Mikhail visited Dave’s home. Dave’s sister was in the kitchen. She told Mikhail that she was pleased she had not lazed around but that she struggle hard to make curry as ‘she didn’t want to lazy’.

Mikhail heard that and turned and asked her: what was that? ‘Don’t want to lazy?’ It has to be ‘don’t want to ‘be’ lazy’.

Dave said: She has this habit of saying, oh that’s grammar, its not important .

Mikhail said: it is not worth speaking in English or speaking at all if it does not mean anything.

This goes with life too, it is not worth doing anything if there is no meaning in it. I wonder how can Nietzsche and Sartre claim that life is meaningless. One is unable to express oneself regardless of all the words one can gather if all the words together [juxtaposed] do not mean anything. It is no point knowing it[words] and saying it. similarly, it is only worth doing something if it has meaning. this meaning is the fulfillment of the purpose of doing it, that it was done with meaning in mind and not with passion or ‘feeling’ or impulse or whims and fancies. life with meaning is like a flower in the garden that makes us know that it is a garden…what would it be if a thousand flowers bloom and it escapes us that it is a garden? Perhaps it would escape us much like we escape everyday of our lives when we escape meaning and live our events of the day without them. We are but the thousand flowers of our everyday life without the worthiness of being called a garden, without meaning.
