your more of a sisyphus than an icarus.

No labyrinth for me! I need to feel the soft summer breeze caress my nether regions whilst skinny dipping in some loch hidden far in the Scottish mountains 😀

If you were to take a guise from the ancient gallery who would it be?

If one believes Homer, Sisyphus was the wisest and most prudent of mortals. According to another tradition, however, he was disposed to practice the profession of highwayman.

Yee'haw!

"The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor."

Feels that way some days! 😉

what you were thinking has relevance only to you and your room full of mirrors. Wisest and most prudent is what the text read, if Homer is to be believed.

As for you, what have you done since your birth on the planet that it may be considered meaningful? What great pyramid have you constructed that I may bow before this megalith to your greatness? Please point me in its direction.

No not at all. My sense of justice simply likes to see what happens when the measure that you have measured out to me is applied to you.

So you cannot point me in any direction and your life is also simply a vanity - thank you. Its a pity you were not man enough to admit it.

As an existentialist I search for meaning despite the vanity. I want there to be meaning and I want to act in a meaningful way. If all you have to contribute is some kind of soap opera dramatics then perhaps its more meaningful to simply disengage from you. Would that constitute a meaningful act. It certainly might.

whooaaa....lashing out again .....followed by some ego massaging to reassure yourself. do you know there are pills you can take to help with that narcissistic, histrionic personality disorder or yours?
