first, i am reminded that i love roach with the love of a thousand things that love other things a whole lot.
second, yes - this is a frame-job. there are many things we will never have or know, and there are many things we will never experience. so have the things that come to you, learn the things you can, and experience your life. i think one can find a rather infinite amount of material for thought in these simple things.
or you can chase everything that you can not reach, only to find that what you sought was to be found in the simple things.
i think, drews, that many of the responses you will find here are tempered by the fact that many of us have been through existential crises. getting to the other side of them usually calms one down a bit. the only thing i missed, and perhaps it's dragged over from a different thread, is where roach pulled the notions of christianity into this. certainly the themes are there - everlasting life, justice, peace, etc - but christianity isn't the only worldview which has promised these things. them's the staples of any good religion, and religions most often form the basis of a worldview.
regardless, best of luck.
