A Very Deep Day
Today was a wonderful run! Total time added up to 60 minutes, which I'ma call 7 miles. I ran with Carlijn and we ran Waban in 53 minutes, then strides, and then I had to run to Washington Street to get mah car. Anyways, so we ran to Waban talking amount my life right now, mainly college. We checked my mailbox but nothing yet :)And thennnn we ran over to Waban and started talking about future life plans. Then we talked about fate, and whether there really is fate, or if there are a ton of different paths we could go down and whichever one we choose is completely random or even chosen for us. From there we got into talking about church and god and the general meaning of life. After much debate, we decided that the meaning of life is competition, and without competition, there would be no purpose. We also concluded that God is basically watching us all like on tv, thus, we have to create meaning for ourselves, namely our of competition. Most of the happiness we get is from competing, thus if we want to be happy, we must compete. Which explains why track makes us both so happy :)
