Life doesn't have a meaning, and philosophy is only an opinion. Emotions are biological impulses and chemical changes, algebra is a theoretical numeral system in order to better understand the concrete world around us, and existence is the only thing you can truly know. "I think therefore I am." But the thing about all those statements I just made, I don't really care. I have surpassed a state were I need to get angry about stupid things, and even the people who say people get mad about stupid things get mad about stupid things. People get mad about a girlfriend cheating on you or breaking up with you. It is a simple trick of the mind to erase any and all regret from your mind. trust me...I've done it. The only purpose I see in life is to enjoy the best you can, and to help other people do the same. I know other people do not carry the same opinion as mine, but I don't care. my goal in life isn't to find the most power, or gain the most money, or save the most lives, or be the smartest, or the most philosophical. I'm just along for the ride. I'll admit from time to time I get worked up in all the swirling mess, but eventually I work my way back out. My goal is help other people find this inner peace, and to suppress there inner burning hot flames of desire.

EDIT: I have to admit, that looking back on this post I've shamed myself. I've lost sight of my past insight and have gradually gotten pulled into the world of materialism and self gain. Although I can now safely assure you that I will work my way back to this position, one blindingly hot knife has been stabbed into this whole mess that is my philosophy. I'm in love, and I'm a Christian. Although I can still attain a semi-present apathetic state of mind, I must hold two things above everything else in this regard. I must use my mental capacity to hold two states of mind at one time, one that is apathetic and can see things from a neutral point of view, and the other that is me, how I see, think, feel and act corresponding to the situation and information.
