To begin this blog I would like to write some kind of an explanational rant of why I have named this blog Meaning Theft. It started when I was in conversation with a friend of mine. We were discussing odds and ends of our differing thoughts and beliefs and how intersted we were in interesting things. It became evident that the things we were interested in specifically had some form of meaning to our lives. What we found meaningful happened to be what we found interesting. Yet, when pushed further we found that we were extremely interested in the things that we felt were meaningful. Thus, being that we find meaning in interesting things we found that it was meaningful to us that we found meaning in interesting things.
In the end it seemed to us that we were interested in finding meaning in that we liked finding meaning in interesting things. And so it seems that we enjoyed collecting facts, or stealing them, in order to feel meaning in our lives and thus fulfill our urge to find meaning in our act of finding meaning. Thus Meaning Theft was born.
