Zensday: The Meaning of Life

The world is round; it has no point. - Adrienne E. Gusoff I once asked a Zen master about the meaning of life. We all get around to that question eventually, don't we? "Life is empty and meaningless," he told me. I said, "No! That can't be right!" He said, "And it doesn't mean anything that it doesn't mean anything." And still I said, "No!" Then he said, "And that gives you the freedom to make it mean anything you want it to mean." And I said, "Ahhhhh."
