A lot of posts today 
OK so I can see with this energy of seriousness, there was some kind of attachment that ‘I’ had to it, that ‘I’ felt it was needed. I have been looking at this, the question of why is any seriousness needed?
What I can see so far is this feeling/belief that seriousness provides meaning, that it is ‘deep’, that to fully appreciate what it means to be a human being requires seriousness. I realise as I am typing this out, what utter garbage it is!
This is nothing short of saying that suffering is required for meaning.
But that is the thrust of this belief, that in order to demonstrate caring one has to become seriously involved.
But I see that this is not so, that life can be enjoyed and appreciated fully without a shred of seriousness. It is still something new though, like an open question - Is it possible to cast out any and all seriousness for good and to live life in full meaning.
I see that the universe has already ensured that seriousness plays no part, because of the facticity of death. ‘I’ can only kid ‘myself’ that something is serious, by believing that it is ultimately lasting. Only the universe exists eternally and it has no need for seriousness as it is absolute. ‘I’ want seriousness as it gives ‘me’ a shot at eternity, at immortality. ‘I’ want to build that which is ultimately lasting - that is the very thrust of ‘my’ seriousness, it is 180 degrees opposite to simply being here to play. So I see why ‘I’ was invested in the seriousness, it does anchor ‘me’ as a ‘being’, to cast out all seriousness is to say a resounding YES to being alive, and to death also.
