So what?

Seems many of my tasks as of late have me searching for answers to that question. My job, my life, my relationships. Everything and everyone requires an answer to the ever-burning question - so what?

Just to make sure we're all together on this, "so what?" can have a variety of interpretations. But, basically it's a confounding mix of "Why should I care?" and "What's in it for me?"

Having said that, I'm as happy as a first date to officially announce that, after much searching, I have the answer.

In my head, I can imagine everyone gathered around in a big circle, waiting to hear. Everyone pulls their chairs in closer, all the while maintaining an eerie silence. You'd be able to hear a pin drop. It'd be almost spiritual. One of life's greatest mysteries is finally solved.

People from all over would travel to see it. They'd come with enthusiasm and a sense of relief. Of course, everyone would get there early and complain about it being general admission. We'd have to bring in a bunch of those Johnny on the Spot Where We Finally Found Out toilets to accomodate them all. There would be collector's edition T-shirts and concessions with snow cones and cotton candy. It would be quite the event. Quite the event, indeed.

But, I don't know.
