life according to Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago

“Life is absurd, because you don’t have any clue what we are here for.   I’m talking about the meaning of life.  There’s no meaning to it!  Look for the meaning, you can never find it.  If that’s the case, we have to invent our own meaning.  That is what we are reduced to. We have to invent why we get up every morning.  You get up, cross the street, and get run by a bus.  Isn’t that absurd?  You’re in a big hurry to get your clothes on so the bus can run over you?”
