the grind

I watched Collateral last night. It was not that impressive, but I did like the killer's (Tom Cruise as Vincent) view that life is meaningless. Not that I want to throw mine away just that what we do here has very little impact except to usually unbalance the universe. The concept of progress is meaningless because we are only trying to fix areas we have carelessly broken in the past. Progress is usually concerning with eliminating drudgery or speeding up a process, but to what end? We are already so bored with life that we waste it watching other people live.
