Conversations With a Stoic Wife #1

Look at you. Just sitting there. Gardening on your phone. Without a care in the world.

“Cares like what?”

Don’t you care why there is something rather than nothing? What is at the edge of the universe? Is it infinite? How can it last forever? And if it doesn’t – what’s beyond it? Don't you care how it all started, and how it will all end? Don't you care we are essentially walking, talking meat bags? If there's a soul? Free will?

“No.”

How can you not care?

“If you get those answers, what will you do with it?”

Don’t you care why we are here?

“I know why I’m here.”

You do?

“Yes”

What?

“Maybe its not the existential answer you are looking for but that’s why you will never be at peace”.

Fuck.
