Why I read lots of blogs

I read an enormous number of blogs. From all sorts of people, From all around the world.

Benefit to me is that amongst this sea of syllables, one sometimes finds pearls

Didn't they ever make you take a couple of bullshit philosophy courses and didn't you study Buddhism in one of them? Life is suffering – it's as simple as that. The only release from suffering comes from escaping the wheel of life.Of course we initially get depressed as we age. We lose muscle tone. Gravity pulls down that which used to remain erect. We get fatter and flabby. We have to work harder to get fewer results and we have less energy to do the work in the first place. Both sexes begin to grow hair in places where we previously never had it – for women it is their upper lips, for men it is inside their ears.But then we get older and wiser. We realize there is no going back and death – glorious death – is waiting ahead to take us away from it all.
