Post by Kristofer »

Based on what would you figure out the meaning of life?
What makes you happy? Science? Religion?

There is no "The meaning of Life"

There is only what you can make of it.

investigate, learn, enjoy, eat, sleep, love, make art.

It's not to ask silly questions that has been asked a billion times over and over ..and fucking over.

Not to use other people as an external brain for very simplistic questions.

why? Also,, I'm confused about the use of the word "should", I never remember the second use XD I always say "should" as something similar to "must".

Well, recently, I went through a phase of wearing a different hat every day in an attempt to impress someone. In the end, I ran out of hats and they lost interest in me.

"It's funny you should say that" is an idiomatic expression. It is usually used in relation to a coincidence of some kind. For further explanation, please ask someone else.

"should" can be used in conditional sentences

In case you arrive late please do this and that. =

Should you arrive late please do this and that.

Should is subjuctive mood of shall.

Perhaps the French grammar could provide some further explanation.
Do we have any French grammarians here ?
The Norman conquest, you know.

I love to explore linguistic enigmas, don´t you ?
