Ok, so this isn't _actually_ the meaning of life, fuck no.

But it is. Kinda.
This post all came into fruition,  after watching Monty Pythons 'The Meaning of Life' last night.

Joy.
_That_ is the meaning of life. 
Not as the end result in itself,  but the _basis_ from which to launch your own personal interpretation to the meaning of it all.
Joyfulness as the default setting, the filter through which to see everything, and is the  _human_ default setting.
Authoritarianism has to quash joyfulness, just to survive...

I dunno about you, but joy only comes to me with a _feeling_ of being free, and I cannot, for the life of me, work out how _anyone_ can be truly _JOYFUL_, and in a _state of joy_, under the yolk of another.
_Under an authority_. 


_It does not compute for me, and from my many observations of those who _do_ seem to like and support authority, there seems to be a tangible _lack of joy_ expressed in these people.

#### Joy is being happy enough to be silly, carefree, brave, and not defensive. Fear is not part of joy, the two cannot coexist together.

....and if this is true, then how can you  _not_ be in state of fear, if you are buying into the approval of an authority?

#### 'Poor is the man who depends on the permission of others'

_Fearing_ the authority puts you in a space that doesn't _allow_ for joy to inhabit that same space.
Fear and joy cannot co exist....
 
I know from my  own psychological mindsets, that the less joyful I feel, the less I see the funny side of life, the ridiculousness, the hilarity.
The love.

_IF_ you cannot feel joy, yet enjoy having authority in your life, maybe it's time to reassess things a little?

If you cannot be joyful with your life, what are showing your peers, and teaching to your children?

That it's acceptable to _not express_ the joyful _gift_ of just being alive?
That it's acceptable to be something that you are not? 
That it's ok to not laugh?
That it's ok to repress being _you_, for the approval of another?

Yeah.... fuck that.



'I'll smile at the devil as his (authoritarian) train, goes by...
and then I'll give him the finger.
