The Show

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

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."
