Sunday Five - Explain to me


The museum guide was trying to explain a Jackson Pollock painting.  

 1: What is meaning of life? 
2: Why does anyone defend Donald Trump? 
3: When will we know we are old? 
4: Why can't we all just get along? 
5: Does any of this really matter? 

 My answers (because I wouldn't ask you do anything I wouldn't do.) 
1: What is meaning of life?  42- according to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  
2: Why does anyone defend Donald Trump? Moral bankruptcy 
3: When will we know we are old?  Some days I know the answer, other days I wonder if I will ever grow up (like being a grown up is a good thing.) 
4: Why can't we all just get along?  Our personal fears, lead us to distrust others who are different than us, and some people are just simply evil. 
5: Does any of this really matter? Only to us dears, only to us.  

 Please share your thoughtful or creative answers in the comments.

    1. To continue our species.
    2. Why would anyone defend the indefensible, but they do.
    3. I guess time will tell.
    4. Hate is a human emotion. We will never all get along.
    5. Not in the least.

    1. The purpose of life, as far as I can tell, is to find a mode of being that make meaningful the fact life is suffering no longer relevant.
    2. Because to Not do so is to admit wrong/error which is too painful for them to do.
    3. when we start sensing nostalgia.
    4. Because we are primates and with the ability to define belief systems - bad combination this.
    5. See my answer in #1.

    1: What is meaning of life? Ha! All I can think to say is what Mr. Natural said around 1969: “Mr. Natural, what is the meaning of life?” “Don’t mean shit.”
    2: Why does anyone defend Donald Trump? Don’t get me started.
    3: When will we know we are old? I hope not until right before I die. A long time from now.
    4: Why can't we all just get along? Argh
    5: Does any of this really matter? Probably not
