We are meaning-making animals. The problem is that quite often the meaning we make is nonsense – which is not problem until we act on it, then it can have very real, and often, very unpleasant consequences.

There is the artist whose work is crunched up balls of a4 paper .(I cannot remember his name but he has a studio in Brixton and he was up for a big prize around 2 years a go) I found meaning in it though i would find it difficult to explain what it was.I do think th e world inherently has meaning and it is impossible not to find it.
