A Philosophy Blog?

This blog is about the meaning of life. Sometimes life sucks, sometimes it's exciting, sometimes it just doesn't make sense. In any case, you have to do something with it.

I chose the title "Exit Only" for several reasons.

  1. I really wanted to use this photo from when I took Photo I.
  2. It is vaguely reminiscent of Sartre's No Exit. I always liked that play because my middle name is Inez and I act like her sometimes.
  3. Is death (the exit) really the ultimate act of life? That reminds me of the refrain "life sucks and then you die" but I can't help but think there's more to life than death. Why is it that life doesn't make sense without death? Death is the absence of life. Is life the absence of death?
The best thing about philosophy is that it relates to everything.
