(it looks so grey grim out i don't want to go out there in the made world,
but the fog softens everything to dream)



what do i know about god and the purpose of life?
i know that this world exists.
that i am placed in it like my eye in its visual field.
that something about it is problematic, which we call meaning.
that this meaning does not lie in, but outside it.
that my life is this world.
that my will penetrates the world.
that my will is good or evil.
therefore that good and evil are somehow connected
  with the meaning of the world....
the meaning of life, i.e. the meaning of the world, we can call
  god....
to pray is to think about the meaning of life.
i cannot bend the happenings of the world to my will:
the world is independent of my will.
