Sunday Morning Philosophy

Here's a fun game for you.

So everyone comes to college and starts thinking about their existence. It's universal; we're getting older and we want to know why we're here. Some people just get depressed and forget about it, some settle for religion, some become authors, some post to their blog. Here's what you should do to get that out of the way.

The rules of the game are as follows.

1. Take a shower or nap or sit somewhere where you can really think.
2. Make up your own reason for your existence. Your own religion. If you settle with "life is meaningess," you're doing it wrong.
3. Write it down.
4. Believe it as truth.
5. Tell people about it (or don't).

Basically what I'm saying is, sure you can believe in the religion you've been assigned to, but why do you have to? Can your ideas be any worse than those of some uneducated bedouins who lived thousands of years ago? Religion should be way more personal.

I'm going to post my reason for existence that I made up last week. Feel free to comment with yours, make fun of me, or if you're really lazy, just believe in mine.
