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.
Perhaps a good thing to occupy this year would be a search for meaning. Perhaps a good number of these evening notes could be dedicated to meaningful searches for meaning, know what I mean. Perhaps the starting point could be the statement of what do I find most meaningful: is it this biological machine or the mind.
