Is it just me, Or are we born to die, And live to learn to avoid wondering why?
Is death an end, Or a reminder?
Is everything meaningless, Or does it simply not seem?
We bask in our own intelligence, Yet we suffer with diligence?
What does it mean to transcend one's own eloquence?
Is there elegance in refusing to adhere to elegance?
In the eyes of the universe,language is gibberish.
When you read my words, do they become yours?

Is that a recommendation, a compliment, or criticism?

I wouldn't say we are born to die, but the very circumstances we are brought into do insure it. I only wouldn't say that though because it would imply I know the answers, anyone who 'does' is more full of shit than your classic constipated opiate addict with an excessive eating disorder.
Everything in my experience and opinion is at the very least one massive fucking question mark.

look you are forcing me to make it harder on you by proving it .. why you guys wont ever admit anything ?? surely because the end is the start .. so there cant be any change.. everything and any possible is absolutely the way it is
r we born to die ?
any true thing or existing fact is never born.. while you seem to reduce everything to your subjective mean about yourself in willing to generalize it as being everyone else state of being born
and of course anything born is to truly end since never true being
2- live to learn to avoid wondering ?
very subjective stance too based on reversing the fact while insisting to mean being the state of everyone else
life cant be but freedom of being .. so life don't ever learn anything
while of course what mean to learn something will end stop pretending knowing true existence of things life what you might learn is never about yourself
is death an end or a reminder ?
death is non being so it cant be the end of being, it is a relative thing that cant be confused with everything fact and your perceptions of else death cant be meant to remind you of anything, it doesn't concern you at all
is everything meaningless ?
how a mean is something ?? a mean by definition is subjective to a will while things are objective true existence facts reality
the rest is all about you alone clearly ..

Yeah because you know, the idea that language doesn't exist outside of us, and my otherwise ineffable thoughts put into words we've created for ourselves for the sake of not being alone, are read by you, your sensory organs working with your brain to reconstruct my ideas except through your lense of perception, creating your own personal interpretation,"do my words become yours", is all about me.
