Don't you think, that by same extension, car is just Gas/Fuel coming in from a Gas/Fuel station?
I am sorry, but I find most essays on the topic of 'meaning of life' escapist. Or rather answering a different question on how best to live life, with the assumption that the real meaning is unknowable.
None of these essays satisfy my need to know, what it is actually all about.
Talking about this essay, its excellent no doubt. But IMHO its misleading all the same.
- jqm 12y agoIn your example I would say body=car. The motion of the car would be life. And that is indeed a channel of gas from the fuel station. The car is needed to channel it, but the car is not it. There is an active component. I agree with the rest of your post. Talking about the "meaning of life" is masturbatory in my opinion. Not that there is anything wrong with a little self pleasure. It just doesn't produce much.
