I’ve just been on Facebook getting today’s “news”. A relative is watching a movie while she is eating kebab. A friend from childhood has been out walking in the scary darkness. Someone is announcing a party with a local artist next weekend. My friend’s sister is bored. A girl I know has got the flu. A man is announcing his divorce. An old roommate from studies is celebrating her sons 5.birthday and another old friend is SO tired.
And I think (today again) SO GOOD TO KNOW!!!
Tomorrow, and the next day and the next day… I’ll log in again and read the same meaningless bullshit that I really don’t want to know.
The reason?
Well… Is it only simple entertaining and updating?
Baudrillard is one of my favourite thinkers. And I see he inspired also you:-) I see you are trying to explore the meaning of meaning. A challenging challenge it is, indeed. Once upon a time I got so obsessed to find the answer to the question of meaning that I developed Phd thesis around that (out of desperacy I did it). To tell the truth I still don't know the answer.I'm afraid THE answer may not exist. Instead of that there are numerous answers, and people just chose the ones that suit them. Don't get depressed because of that :-) We may always save ourselves with an "appropriate" media product (like "The Meaning of Life", Monty Python's, have you seen it?). We live in media times. Let's try to enjoy it :-)
