The Meaning of Life
For eons man has sought to define the meaning of life. Everyone has attempted to solve the question of why we are here. Philosophers and theologians have debated it, writers have explored it. Even Hojo has sought this understanding. Little do they know that he answer is about to be discovered, and by the lowly executive. Let us join him now in that quest for the greatest of all knowledge.
Mornings were the best time of the day. They meant coffee and doughnuts and orange juice and all of that stuff. Now sat Reeve at his kitchen table, pouring himself a bowl of cheerios. He watched happily as the milk splashed over the whole grain circles and they floated up on top of the milk. A spoon soon joined his breakfast in the merrymaking. A wide smile stretched over his face as he ate the first spoonful of cold and delicious food. By the time he reached the last bit of cheerios floating in the bowl, the cereal not yet soft and soggy from the milk, there was true contentment in the man.
That was when it hit him, as he looked down upon those last loops of grain. They were floating there in a little pattern, much to his shock. They floated in the shape of a peace sign. What an odd thing to happen. And as Reeve thought about it he realized what he'd discovered. The true meaning of life was not happiness or wealth or having lots of kids. No, the true meaning was to have world peace and cereal for all! Yum, peace and cereal. What a combination.
