Without a "life" to experience life, there is no meaning.  Trying to
find out "The Meaning of Life" is like trying to pick yourself up.  Life
cannot tell what it is because "explaination" itself only exists as a
product of life.  And because we have nothing to compare it to, whether
it be the ramblings of our own minds or that of another, we cannot
describe it using its own tools.  We label things to form a "grasp" on
reality but once we realize this, we find that we even made up the very
"cliff" we cling to.  So if we are clinging to a cliff we made, then we
are still falling.  To fall is to live.  To hit bottom is to die.  So,
to unfortunately coin a phrase, "Life is what you make it."  Anyone who
does not want to realize that they are in total control is afraid of
losing their control or "grip".  I guess it's just important to get used
to falling.  PEACE.

P.S.  My philosophy is true to my thoughts.  As I can never lie to
myself, I can never feel as deeply as I do about the things that I share
with others.  Be you stranger or friend.  STEPHEN FINTON Igor@texoma.com
