The Show

The audience cheers, 
the fans scream, 
the applause roars; 
the curtain falls, 
and the player trudges back to his dressing room, 
alone.

A poem,

Meaninglessness

"You know that old story about the man who asks God if He is so omnipotent, can He make a boulder so big that even He cannot move it? Well, I can't say what God answered, but what I can say is that humanity has already done that. We have created a challenge for ourselves that we have yet to accomplish. We have challenged ourselves to find meaning in an inherently meaningless world. That is why I find humanity so amazing: they are the ones who designed a game they cannot beat."
