WIBCI Post #113

WIBCI we continued to care about the MEANING OF LIFE?

In honor of the new year and in the hope that it is not as sucky as 2025, I thought why not get deep and discuss the biggest question that has frustrated mankind for millennia: What is the Meaning of Life?

Rather than going down the obvious Philosophy route, I’ll let the minds of Monty Python sum it up, per the ending of their 1983 movie of the same name:

A man, dressed like a woman is sitting in a den in an armchair, there is a vase with an Adam’s Family ‘Thing’ hand holding flowers, a tube television set, and a background curtain circa Johnny Carson:

‘Well that’s the end of the film now here’s the meaning of life….’ (handed envelope which is opened). ‘Thank you Bridgette. well there is nothing very special; try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and again, get some walking in, and try to live together in peace and harmony with people from all creeds and nations.’

 

And while I’m at it, check out the lyrics to ‘Bright Side of Life‘ and may YOU be better in the New Year:

But Brian, you know what they say?
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best
And Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life

If life seems jolly rotten (hoo-hoo)
There’s something you’ve forgotten (hoo-hoo)
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing (hoo-hoo-hoo)
When you’re feeling in the dumps (hoo-hoo)
Don’t be silly, chumps (hoo-hoo)
Just purse your lips and whistle, that’s the thing (hoo-hoo)
And

Always look on the bright side of life
(Come on)
Always look on the right side of life

For life is quite absurd (hoo-hoo)
And death’s the final word (hoo-hoo)
You must always face the curtain with a bow (hoo-hoo-hoo)
Forget about your sin (hoo-hoo)
Give the audience a grin (hoo-hoo)
Enjoy it, it’s your last chance anyhow

So always look on the bright side of death
A-just before you draw your terminal breath

Life’s a piece of shit (hoo-hoo)
When you look at it (hoo-hoo)
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true (hoo-hoo-hoo)
You’ll see it’s all a show (hoo-hoo)
Keep ’em laughin’ as you go (hoo-hoo)
Just remember that the last laugh is on you (hoo-hoo-hoo)
And

Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the right side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the bright side of life
(repeats)
