Why save the world, when you can rule it?
A: "You know smoking will kill you?"
B: "Yes, but I really don't see the point in life."
A: "But you can learn so much and enrich your mind."
B: "While that is indeed true, all is lost when one eventually perishes."
A: "Perisheth"
B: "You're not funny and my point still stands; life's only point is life itself, which is in itself pointless. According to the natural laws I live only to reproduce, so that my offspring may reproduce. This means that not only is my life pointless other than producing offspring but the lives of my offspring have no point but the same. The cycle continues ad-infinitum and all for what? For nothing. There is no greater purpose. No grand scheme of things."
A: "Now I know that you have a particular love of Tolstoy, are you seriously about to tell me that you would rather not have ever come into existence and never read Tolstoy?"
B: "Indeed I would, for never having known all of life's little displeasures would far outweigh the pleasure I have gleaned from Tolstoy. Besides which, re-reading his works has never given the same enjoyment as reading them for the first time. I'm surprised to see you arguing in favour of life on the basis that Tolstoy is a good read; I was rather under the Impression you disliked his works."
A: "Well dislike is rather an extreme word, I just find that they lack something what with war & peace being so long yet not perfectly thought out, what with the innate contradictions it contains."
B: "Containeth."
A: "You're not funny when you do that either."
B: "Sorry."
A: "Besides which I find his religious stance rather questionable. Yes the Russian Orthodox church was a rather corrupt little monstrosity, even on a level unrelated to the revolutionary posters, yet to look beyond the problems of Orthodoxy and not see the greater flaws in religion I find rather questionable for a genius of such renown."
B: "But his war & peace was such a great work that it was printed en-masse to inspire Russian troops to greater furvour in their fight against the Germans, how can you find fault with it?"
A: "I was not finding fault with it, I was finding fault with the Orthodox church and belief in God."
B: "I was referring to your earlier mention of the contradictions in war & peace."
A: "Ah, so sorry. But I'm afraid my points stand: Those contradictions exist."
B: "In any case it's undeniably a great read, contradictions and all. Nothing better than sitting indoors on a rainy night with a good book and my pipe; war & peace is a personal favourite."
A: "And as I said smoking will kill you."
B: "And as I said, be that as it may, life is pointless. There is nothing I can do in this life that is good."
A: "You could start an orphanage, end poverty, feed the world!"
B: "Indeed I could, but to what end? Merely the furthering of more inconsequential lives."
A: "You know with that attitude I really can't understand your penchant with someone so concerned for the common good as Tolstoy."
B: "I merely enjoy his writing. I don't necessarily share his ideals."
A: "I can see that, what with your belief that life is pointless and that there is no God or afterlife."
B: "Given that you're also an atheist I fail to see what great scheme you think worthy of investment that life be extended by not smoking. By smoking I merely lose a few years at the end of my life when I'd likely be merely some housebound old man."
A: "Yet even as a housebound old man you'd be able to enjoy your beloved Tolstoy."
B: "Indeed I would, however I'd also have the dubious pleasures of old age and infirmity forced upon me."
A: "Be that as it may you'd suffer old age and infirmity sooner with your smoking."
B: "Then I'd at least have had the pleasure of smoking."
A: "I've never found any pleasure in smoking, can you honestly say you have?"
B: "Come to think of it, no I can't. But I'm in no mood to stop."
A: "Well, that's your choice. Peckish?"
B: "Indeed, positively ravenous."
A: "Would you like to come and steal some Ovoraptor eggs with me? Or would it merely prolong the life you find so pointless."
B: "Indeed it would prolong my shuffling from this mortal coil, but so be it that I may momentarily ease these incessant hunger pangs that even my beloved literature is unable to quell."
:wtf:
B: "Yes, but I really don't see the point in life."
A: "But you can learn so much and enrich your mind."
