You know how sometimes the stupidest shit will be happening and you'll suddenly understand something people have been telling you for years?

So yeah (because I have this theory that Cyndi Lauper is awesome enough to redeem even obvious mistakes) I was watching Life with Mikey and this line (and a great read my MJF doing some heavy lifting in a waste of film even Nathan Lane is kinda phoning in) came out and I had to pause the movie and tell you about it.

#i don't know #i've been looking into the bagavad gita and generally going through a strange time #and keep bumping into this absolutely dumb shit that i still have to like take a walk and process #i have read just about every major philosopher and scripture at some point #and here i am having thoughts about a michael j fox movie from the fucking 1990s with 25% on rotten tomatoes #i swear to god i am two sleepless nights away from believing the hokey pokey is what it's all about after all #so like if this life is just a temporary manifestation of some larger thing and what i usually mean when i say ''I'' isn't really a thing #(an idea i find to be both self-evident and demonstrably true if not necessarily in the originally intended sense)#then what's the fucking point of anything? why does any of it matter?#i remember reading at one point someone asked the dalai lama how do we find calmness and living in a stressful world run for profit #and the dalai lama laughed and said not to ask such difficult questions #how do you know when to fight and when to accept?#but maybe this is the wrong question to ask in a temporary situation
