The Bullshit Paradox

[rdonnay]

Dustin Hoffman played a reluctant hero in the movie - "Hero".

Near the end of the movie he made a profound statement when talking to his son.

He said:

Everything is Bullshit.
It's one layer of Bullshit on top of another layer of Bullshit.
Your job in this life is to find the Bullshit you like best,
and then that becomes your Bullshit.

I used to quote this phrase a lot until a few days ago when I was driving down the road and had a sudden realization that simply making a statement like this creates a paradox. If he is right then his statement is Bullshit, therefore he must be wrong. I think my head is going to explode.

My basic philosophy is 'never take life too seriously... no mater what you do, you'll never come out of it alive".

which is much better than my brother's - life sucks, then you die.

Don't take life too serious. It will end soon. Try to have as much fun as possible until then.

In about 4 billion years, the sun will explode and the earth will vanish. Think about that before you pray ten times a day - or hope for 32 virgin girls in paradise. They will explode aswell. And exploded virgins are almost useless. (To be honest, they won't be virgins anymore after you reached paradise.)

And exploded virgins are almost useless.

Almost useless?

What part of an exploded virgin isn't useless?
Oh, wait a minute. I just figured it out.

if this turning into a sex chat board, perhaps i should change my login and not use my real name.

I'd be pissed if I were promised 32 virgins forever and they stopped me after 4 billion years.
