The Big Stuff

I don't understand a lot of things. In fact, I don't get almost everything in that Santa's sack labelled 'Life's Important Things'. Some you can talk about, some you can't, some Life's Great Truths, some where you're supposed to accept it, no questions asked, and some others that are generally irritating.
Great Truths are usually unfounded, Taboo things are usually the most interesting and worth discussing (by default, not bullheadedness), and generally irritating things are usually the ones that are most unquestionable and infallible. It's extremely perverse and,unfortunately, not funny at all, because it actually applies to you.
Elders are not always worth respecting, Ignorance isn't bliss a good bit of the time (for example, in an inter-school quiz) and whether Love is the greatest thing in Life is highly debatable. I really don't think it is. It doesn't make any sense.
It's tiring thinking about them. You think you get somewhere, but they're all conceptions, and so it's practically impossible to come to an absolute conclusion about it. And even if you do, you have to be utterly impervious to everything regarding that topic afterwards, or you are likely to change your mind. It's even intriguing, in a way, because you're never done thinking about them.
Inconclusive and intriguing and disputed, this is what keeps them in that sack, I guess.Or that they excite strong emotions in people- sometimes hope, sometimes rebellion, and lots of other things as well. Joy and irritation and personal strength and a lot more. So I can't give up thinking about them, because I'm hooked. So philosophers ? They aren't especially intelligent, or deep. They're just gullible, and addicted. And they started out with far too much time on their hands.
