From what I've seen, people wonder what the meaning of life is and hate the people that give them answers and despise the *answers* themselves.
So, do you think you'd believe if you got the answer?
You wonder what the meaning of life is because the idea's been implanted in your head. It's about a disposition, not a question, not an answer.

yeah you revealed that I get irritated by Political Correctness. Especially when it detracts attention from the point of the original post which was about irony and the search for knowledge and nothing at all about cultural lenses or gender-dominence.

Your "deconstruction" didn't shed any light or reveal anything about the topic, but instead SWITCHED the topic all together.

That's a good point! I'm reminded of how Siddhartha wandered the countryside speaking to as many spiritual leaders as he could find and then tried all of their teachings. In the end he found no truth in any of their answers and set out to find it himself.

It just goes to show that just because you get answers doesn't mean that they will be meaningful or effective for you. It's about what answers speak truth to YOUR heart!
