Intellectualizing is fun, and that’s basically all we’re doing here on the Morning Motivator. Thinking is fun. Living is fun. Dying is fun. What’s the point of fun? Fun itself is the point, and we can make fun out of anything, even death. Can you make fun of fun? Probably! If death is the ultimate problem, then how is it a problem? It’s over. There will be no more discussion on the matter. No more intellectualizing. No more thinking. No more questions. No more wondering. So is death the ultimate problem or the ultimate solution? It’s funny. I just can’t tell.
Well, we’ll just have to play with that one for a while, won’t we? Who knows? Seems like death will be a relief to me. I mean – all this suffering! Death will be the end of it, so what would be wrong with death? It’s inevitable, so why turn it into a problem when it could easily be seen as a solution in the blink of an eye?
If it’s hard to turn death into a problem, then it seems hard to turn life into a problem too – but we manage that quite well, don’t we? Perhaps problems and solutions are manufactured perceptions of what is all inevitable. How do you solve a problem like Maria? Perhaps she’s not a problem at all but indescribable and of great awe and mystery. Do you have a problem with that?
Problems and solutions are inextricably the same, and we have this gorgeous ability to dance around them effortlessly. The turnstile keeps going and perhaps all of this problem-solving is yet another thing of which we may make fun. Weeeeee….. what a world! Let’s keep thinking. Let’s keep intellectualizing. Let’s keep solving our so-called problems. But if you can’t poke fun at it, then what exactly is the problem?
