Pizza Construction

Dear Other:

Q: What is Existentialism? - - - - - - - - - -> Ans: A pepperoni pizza!

The pepperoni is where one can stand on a hard surface, confident and sure of oneself. Here one can reason logically to find meaning in life. Plato and Descartes stand tall there. Once, I got up on the pepperoni studying at the University. Trying very hard to stay atop on my hands and knees, the turbulence soon became too much. I fell back into the pie.

Fell into the cheese. Once in the cheese, I found flaws in logic, irrationalism and a struggle in the thick ooze of life. Stuck I almost drowned, almost. Now, I manage to stay afloat. How? One grabs a handful of cheese and forms this into a shape one finds meaning in. I hold onto this shape, stay afloat and survive.

This task is difficult as I bob up and down, bumping my head against the pepperoni. Another swims by and points out the absurdity of my creation. I must agree but stay alive.

Let us not forget the final ingredient, the crust. This is the most important because the crust is love. Love surrounds the whole and gives structure and support to our cheese and pepperoni. The crust is a place where we find each other.

I will wait for you there.
