This day in virtual obscurity.

The meaning of life.
I have given this much thought over the years and I have come to many possible conclusions. What is the point? Are we here to love?... Procreate and be good parents?... Maybe its to pray or gain knownledge, to fight against evil or to help your fellow man, to make art or to make war or to make love.
After examining all the possibilities I believe that the purpose of our existence is to consume.
It is the thing we do more of then anything else. Even before we are born and after our death we consume. We consume more then we have sex, some people consume even while they are having sex. We consume for entertainment, we consume when we are sleeping and just sitting there reading this, you are paying several corporations for the privilege .
The shopping mall is our temple and the sales girl our priest. We consume God in the form of bad movies, plastic statues and collectible plates.
From the moment of our conception to the time we turn back to the earth we consume and in the end it seams the human race might just consume itself.
They just had a commercial on the radio it seams the mall is having a big sale, be right back....
