But I still don't get "pretensions" out of that. Glad you enjoy anything I write on any level Ravi, back atcha with your own creative work here. But I'm no cute kitty. I am going exactly where I am trying to get to here. But since I am ending up with a claim of NOT knowing, and not buying that others DO know about matters after death, I can see why that seems unsatisfactory. But for me it is. Like Camus suggests, I balance myself at the edge of the void of the absurdity of life. And then choose to create my own meaning for my existence out of that. I'm just not accepting any belief package plans. Even if they promise me eternity. Eternity is just too long. Can you imagine the nagging that we would endure if we do end up with the 72 virgins? 72 versions of how you should improve yourself with all of eternity to implement their plans! I can't imagine any version of eternity that doesn't feel like the last hour of any movie where all the actors are in French court period costumes. >
