To figure out the meaning of it all we need to understand the negative, need to work out why there are situations and people who cause my downward spiral like a WWII plane crashing. Is it just anxiety about the expected loss of the oh so fragile emotional paper fortress I think I may lose?
Perhaps meaning can be found in feeling good, hedonism is such an appealing ideology. I feel good when I win, when I wine (in moderation) when I am entertained, or when someone shows me a clever thing or turn of phrase, I feel good when you flirt with me, so perhaps I should flirt with you first.
