Tonight, I have consulted a panel of experts concerning some pretty big questions. For your viewing pleasure, here is an overview of the interview, brought to by Kid Wednesday Productions at The Big Can Do.
PK: What is the meaning of life?
Confucius: Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
PK: I’ll just say….. hecky-dern. Confucius just cleared things up nicely. Would anyone else like to chime in on this one… the meaning of life?
James M. Barrie: Life is a long lesson in humility.
PK: Well I am certainly getting a big dose of humiliation here. Third time is a charm… anyone else care to weigh in?
Albert Camus: You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
PK: Okay. I guess that is my queue to move on to the next question. Happiness. If we can’t search for what it consists of … then how will we ever know what happiness is?
Mahatma Gandhi: Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
PK: Like a song?
Dale Evans: Who cares about the clouds when we’re together? Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
PK: Alright. Who in the heck let Dale Evans in here, for crying out loud? Will somebody show Dale back to the sound stage for The Roy Rogers Show?
Albert Camus: I know of only one duty, and that is to love.
PK: Camus… could you do a duty of love right now, and show Dale Evans to the door?
PK: Okay everybody, settle down. Let’s get back on task. Does anyone have anything to share about life’s purpose:
William Feather: One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.
PK:These panel answers are becoming quite an adventure! Any one else?
Martin Luther King, Jr.: Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’
PK: Marty. Thanks. Now those truly are some great words of wisdom. So… at this point…. I will do something really good for others… I will put an end to this night’s (mostly) fruitless segment. It just seems like the right thing to do.
PK: So…….. Thanks for tuning in tonight. We’ll try this again soon.
Mark Twain: Yes. Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
