Downer??? Please, I prefer Realist!!!! I take a very “big picture”
approach to life & reality, which tends to minimize any relative (or
relevant) importance to the presence of this species. (Oh, I’m **not**
The Borg)

I know in this forum, I’m perceived as being “depressed” by others
(Turtoni has suggested medication). I can only assume that either :

(A) I have a completely different definition of what constitutes
depression (than the public at large)

OR

(B) I have been unable to adequately express a philosophical viewpoint
without having it directly attached to **how** I live my life.

Just because I believe humanity is without relevance to the universe,
doesn’t mean I’m unable to “fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand
way” in some semblance of happiness… I’m not depressed!!!!!!!

(btw, for those of the “atheist persuasion”, I can’t begin to imagine
how they get their “moral compass” to point them in the
“right” (subjective) direction. To **know** that life is one gigantic
cosmic (comic?!?!?!) fluke without any “higher” purpose, well sorry,
existentialism doesn’t help (to me) by the individual giving his own
life meaning. This actually is one of the subjects I was hoping to
discuss in this forum, but have been unable to do so.

Other than because of some overpowering imperative from nature, at
some cellular level, to live at all costs, I don’t know how some
people get through this (NOTE A: Think, superman in a wheelchair)
(NOTE B: I’m guessing this imperative is malfunctioning in my
circuitry).

The biopsy was negative for cancer, yet the urologist still wants to
stick his finger up my ass for a while longer (great job for the right
man, I guess)…

I’ll be around,
