I am ambivalent about such speculation, being and not being of the thought that such philosophical questioning is a waste of time.

Is it truly wasted? Maybe your value system just needs to be reevaluated?
All value systems need some reevaluation.
I wonder if the need to re - evaluate all value systems is itself a value system, or is based on a value system, that needs to be evaluated.
Perhaps we should all adopt the Enlightenment Morality System: That is, there ARE several moral absolutes, such as rape and genocide being evil and inexcusable, we just haven't found them all yet.
Imperfect as we are, can we even trust our human selves to establish a code or morals?
We can ask the frogs for some ideas, if you'd like.
Being imperfect we do, and then wonder at their failures.
I can find song lyrics for every scene I write.
Maybe you should write scripts for musicals?
Waiting for inspiration to happen is like holding your breath to breathe.
Which still works (you'd pass out and start breathing automatically.)
Is it better to be asleep when you are awake, or awake when you are asleep?
It is better to be awake from sleep than to realize too late you are part of a wake!(Sorry. Attempted wordplay, not as good as M. ;))
Would you rather be the wake or have it be your wake?
[Lol! And no need to apologize C.J.! Your word play is fine.]I went to a wake by the sea, and all I got was bored.
Then maybe you should have let your board slumber.
He let his broad slumber while he boogied on the water.
The mermaids below grimaced at his unskilled dancing.
That he was dancing on water with two bare feet was a small detail unappreciated by the grimacing mermaids.
But the shark was grimacing when it broke a tooth on the mermaids titanium bracelet.
The youngest one took the bloodied tooth and made herself a pretty necklace.
After much trial and error, she discovered intestines were best to use as string.
And Guy was surprised at that because he figured that they were better suited to making sausages.
But when it laid an egg in the lettuce, he realized he should have killed the chicken first.
What comes first the chicken or the egg? Either way is good when you're making chicken piccata, I've heard.EDIT: I meant "chicken francese." I should have consulted my brother who has worked in a restaurant earlier. Whoops!
Piccata, Picasso, the chicken he painted looked more like the remains of a meal than either a chicken or food.
Watching the chicken tasting the paint inspired the wannabe painter to gently stick a small paint brush in its pick and gently stroke its feathers to inspire its brush strokes.
He decided that it would be better if he developed a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich rather than his skills as a house painter.
And the cheese sandwiches that he painted he sold at the local deli as 'ricotta art deco to go'.
When he ran out of food, painted cardboard worked just as well.
When he died, the mortician had very little to prepare in his corpse because his veins had become dried and multi-hued celluloid.
But he thought the body was too lovely to hide underground, and mounted it on a stand by the entrance.
"But I'm a good man," he cried out to the people running away, "you have nothing to fear but fear itself!"
"I didn't kill him!" he added as they disappeared around the corner.
He decided to have a beer and bratwurst first, because the morgue is the last place the cops would think of to look for bodies.
They never blamed him anyway. Though they always scolded him for getting his fingerprints on the evidence before they could process it.
To hide the evidence, put it in the hands of plain clothes police.
He'd killed more than those 15, but no one ever knew, because the flesh always did well in his stew.
As long as he spread it out between enough stomachs, they'd never trace it back to him.
And as it so happened, his predilection was inspired by Fried Green Tomatoes, not Soylent Green.
Soylent Green is people... people that were vegans so it's pretty healthy!
Vegan diets are very nutritious. But make sure to only eat the best vegans available.
The entire earth is a living giant consumed by the joy of being consumed and of consuming itself without end.
Change, being open to new thoughts and possibilities is to be aligned with life because inflexibility and stiffness is to be aligned with things dead.
Never, ever, bend a book if no one as a result will then borrow it!;) :P
