meaningless ...

We've been looking at the writings of an ancient sage called John, seeing what they say about living in the urban 21st century.  He says a lot more, but maybe it's time for something else ... 
Something like 3000 years ago there was a philosopher who was rich, cosmopolitan and very urban.  (Yes, that's right, there is nothing new is there?)  He set out to find out the meaning of life.  I'd like to look at his writing from the point of view of the Urban Hub, Claremont, Cape Town.

"Meaningless! Meaningless!"

says the philosopher 

"Utterly meaningless!

Everything is meaningless."

That is how it starts.  It sometimes feels like that to me; I wonder if other people feel the same.  I wonder what he tried?
