Am I alone?

I asked my manager at work when he realized that he didn't really know what he was doing in any sense. He said around twenty so I guess I was a little early, but pretty much right on the money.
This all started with an argument between me and a friend. During the argument I came to the conclusion that there really isn't any point to what we as a people do. Who said we had to climb from the sludge and go through millions of years of evolution so that we can walk upright and use abstract thought, for what? So that you can grow up and be an insurance salesman? I just can't believe that is the overall outcome of all of our work as a species.
You may be thinking I sound whiny. You may think I sound crazy. Or maybe you have thought the same thing. Who knows? this is the kind of stuff that people rarely share with others. Fear of seeming incorrect or odd in social interaction leads to humans not being honest with each other. To truly find a companion we must find someone on the same level as ourselves. And by that I mean someone just as crazy as us.
Then again, I can claim to do no better. After all I resort to anonymity in order to say these things without fear of social reprisal. I wonder, who out there can truly call themselves open?

I like the theme of this blog. You have the kind of abstrac thoughts I often occupy my own mind with. I sometimes wonder also what is the point of all this effort just to grow up, have a crappy job, get old and its all over. Really we should be appreciating just being alive and having any experience at all. The things that should count most seem to be overweighed with thoughts of work and other stresses!

Thanks. I often wonder just how nuts I am or if anyone else actually acknowledges the odd crap floating through the Brain.
I guess I am still stuck on the idea of man, pre-society. What is it like to literally have nothing to do, but live?

Realistically the chances of there being a god or a point to life are very minimal. So the only point to life I have found is to enjoy it. Do what you want don't hold back, Make what you want of it. Who cares what other people think you have your own thoughts for a reason. Who cares if you aren't always socially acceptable society has many flaws and expectations of proper behavior some that aren't even justifiable. Personally I enjoy playing video games so I go from there to decide what I am going to do for my life which leads me to the conclusion of creating video games. While there is not a lot of original content I think it would be fun and it is something I like. Thus my point at least a point for my life is set and I work to achieve it. Does it make sense as everything will fade in time. Well of course we are alive now so we might as well.
