Know Thyself Post #26

Know Thyself through LITERATURE:

‘there was a message written in pencil on the tiles by the roller towel, this was it:

What is the purpose of life?

Trout plundered his pockets for a pen or pencil. He has an answer to the question, but he had nothing to write with, not even a burnt match. So he left the question unanswered, but here is what he would have written if he had found anything to write with:

To be

The eyes

And ears

And conscious

Of the creator of the universe

You fool.’

–Kurt Vonnegut Jr. Breakfast of Champions

If YOU thought about it, what is the purpose of life?
