The Meaning of Life

Sweep away the clutter of things that complicate our lives. - Thoreau

most take extra ketchup for them

few ever finish them all

like a lawyer who's also an acrobat

the meaning of life lies in the answer to the question,

"would you like fries with that?"

Author's Note

"As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Thoreau

I don't know, but I think of greed specially in the second line, why order it or order more than what You are able to take if You are not going to finish it? another clever way dear Pete for addressing the real meaning of living bring a simple example from daily life, know what You want and the steps ahead should be clear.

we live in a society in which people don't like to say no (more is better) and those offering something are pushy. got me thinking about that question they always ask at fast food restaurants. as usual, wisdom in what you say ... :)

Lmao that is funny but truthful

[Pete]

i've heard that question asked so many times - got me thinking if the meaning of life lies in how we handle it ... :)

[Poetic Beauty]

That is the truth. Life is complicated and can take many different turns. Handling it with grace is an art form many haven’t achieved

[Pete]

we're unfinished works in the making. you've got that right! ...

Hello, Pete! :)
Waffle fries are my favorite vegetable. I eat them with mayo; which I'm pretty sure makes it a salad, so ill probably live forever.

[Pete]

it all clogs our arteries so might as well go out with a smile ... :)

[Pete]

fried food and mayo are bad but you're so ornery (just kidding) that you probably will live forever ... :)
