What is life without purpose? I ask you. Because I have something to say about it, but it would make me quite a killjoy. Or, rather, did you choose this quote because it holds a known message for you, or did you choose it because it sounds "deep"?

it probably Will make you a killjoy, it's the reason the rest of us shut up. but if we gonna go serious shit in here then I'll discreetly say; the quest for purpose has cost us so much, but I don't think we'll ever see the end of our adventure. because even if we deep down know there is no reward, we still urge for the existence of one.
how's THAT for deep.

Well I'm glad I don't shut up then - being labeled as a killjoy is better than having no say about something. I don't mean to sound... 'Stingy,' or "spiteful," but I suppose I can come across like that sometimes!

Well, is that your thought on life?
I only question this, not because I think you're insincere, but because the phrase you use in your (beautiful) artwork has been reused over and over in the mouths of adolescents who are (pretending to be) troubled, as a way to answer any tough question about their life choices. And so I asked you this question as a way for me to figure out whether you're someone that holds this phrase to heart, that you know how much better a life with purpose is than a life without - or that you're

Apologies - I accidentally sent this without finishing. 

Or that you're someone who simply finds this a smart and good quote, without any true meaning behind it.

I know I sound cynical! I know I sound like I could use a rainbow, or a good slap in the face, but when I see artwork like this (this meaning that it's a quote) then I get quite... I don't know what. It's simply that in my society the phrases "you only live once" or "YOLO!" Are used as an excuse to smoke (underage), drink (underage), take drugs (underage!), and have sex. (You guessed it, also underage.)

So please forgive me. I don't mean to sound like a grumpy guy, but... I think I've explained myself?

What? That's stealing, no? 

Unless you modified it, but you must still credit the author. What the hell?
