What to do?

After a four-week hiatus, I'm back to blogging with this solitary post just for the sake of those who have visited 'blogger' purely for reading this beloved blog of mine, which not only has led me to believe that I'm a decent writer but also has played a part in improving my typing speed.

Without wasting any more time writing mediocre fifth-grade stuff, let me move towards the supposedly philosophical, 'high IQ' standards that I have set for myself.

So here goes nothing:

Looking up at the tribladed aerator (or air-director, should I say) with my body stationed on the couch in horizontal equilibrium, I wonder whether being an ardent advocate of nihilism is the right way to live.

When the overall scheme of things allows me to take a break from the mundane activities spanning the diurn and the nocturn, and contemplate the various possibilities of the origin of and the reason behind everything (in dissonance with one of my philosophical gyaans), I reaffirm my earlier view that whatever one does in one's lifetime will prove to be futile in the long run in the context of the seemingly unending panorama of space and time called as the multiverse (which appeals more to me than the more widely accepted concept of the universe). So what's the point in living. Remaining unaffected by the Total Perspective Vortex would imply that your soul and your will to live are already dead.

But then, another possibility occurs to me, the one proclaimed by me earlier in all those chronologically numbered anecdotal posts, which my inadequate cerebrum forced me to forget, as a result of which I once again become one of those bloody hypocrites I despise from the chasms of my coronary arteries.

The ultimate choice that I make among these two will obviously be immaterial in the end.
But this is not the end yet and hence, the dilemmic question of making the choice arises.

So, good-bye folks. See you after a fortnight. Meanwhile, let me make that much shouted-about (or rather, blogged-about) choice and also remind myself of my legacy, both inherent and otherwise. I suggest you do the same.
