If things are predestined and predetermined, why spend so much time dragging myself through life?
Uh, well, I don't know about you but I'd rather be predestined to haul myself through life although it might be painful that be predestined to just die in a corner after 30 years of not doing anything interesting.
But then again I suppose I'm not interestend in theology/metaphysics/that kind of stuff for my own good. My general stance on the subject is "who gives a crap, this is kind of fun!" (Please note: I am a masochist. Emotional pain makes me feel more alive, so most painful moments in my life qualify as "fun", in a weird, kinda twisted way.)
To go back on the initial subject, which was not myself and my weird submissive psychology but YOUR MOST EXCELLENT META (because it is most excellent....)
I don't know if this told me more about you than your fiction. It definitely told me something different about you, because fiction is much more ideal than introspection, it's much neater in the ideas. I mean, in most books, it's not too hard to say "this book has Calvinist ideas" or "oh, that was written by a Cartesian" or whatever. The expression of metaphysical / philosophical confusion is very different, and rather interesting.
When I say that it didn't tell me more than fiction, by the way, it's mostly that I've been reading your LJ for long enough to know about these ideas already (apart from the tattoo, obviously).
tl;dr: COOL META BRO <3
PS: My icon's quote is directed at myself, not you, obv.
