Not in the sense of the bigger picture. I have personally assigned purposes to my life, though. I don't think there is any meaning to my life. But I do enjoy living.
But your response only makes sense if "sthitapragya" is a name; an assumption I do not make.
So is it just a name or does it mean something?

Agreed.vegetariantaxidermy wrote:It would have been a very peculiar way to ask someone, in the third person.sthitapragya wrote: I dont think so. Otherwise he would have said meaning of instead of meaning to.
It could go either way; but what's the meaning to "Hobbes Choice" would not result in that pretentious answer sthitapragya gave.

True.

The irony is that Bill probably doesn't even remember what he wanted to know.

No, it's not a name. It's a completely detached and focused state of mind. Something I aspire to because I am a worrier and I hate that about me.

Who is SthitaPragya?
The definition of SthitaPragya is given in Shrimadbhagwad Geeta. One who is SthitaPragya has a mind unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a place without breeze.
He knows his worth and is not shaken by negative assessment by others. He enjoys life and yet has the ability to withdraw at will from the objects of the senses.
He does not allow unfulfilled desires and failures to stick to him like mud.
In a world where any number of learned people have given models for happy and contented life, the SthitaPragya model of life still remains supreme.

You really should attribute your cut-pastes else someone might get the impression you know something.

Well, I notice you use the emoji symbols when you REALLY feel happy or you REALLY feel strongly about something.
Really isn't much difference, save for the fact that my images are much more creative and expressive.
Hey, um,...what's that smell? Hey. Hey wait a minute...HEY com'er YOU!

Yeah. There is this site I would like you to see...it's called Google. Start there. If you want an image type: image.
If you are looking for a GIF, type: GIF.
That should get you started.
Looking forward to a fellow member who understands the value of images!
