Herbietown: Tom Wolfe Weighs In On The Meaning Of Life

  • Chad Malone · 2 years ago
    The limits of my brain bar me from understanding your meniacal compulsion to engage in online intellecutal masturbation. It all strikes me as wonderfully vainglorious and self-indulgent. While you digest the results of an online poll of your growing collection of friends' thoughts on the existence of god, you snooze through the signs of god all around you - spring in the Upper Valley, a human life in your wife's womb, the glitter from the sun across a lake while sharing a beer with a close friend.

    You wonder about the meaning of life? The existence of god?

    Close your lap-tap. Allow the people who care about you to hear the joy in your voice as you recount your adventures in life.

    There it is.
