Pointless Post
If it holds true
that you are
All That Is,
then you don’t need
to follow others
to help others
to do
or even express
ANYTHING,
including this
pointless post.
You contain All That Is.
You ARE All That Is.
So why are you reading this?
Why am I even talking to you?
The answer is simple.
You got anything BETTER to do?

Space Monkey Reflects: The Pointlessness of It All
If you are All That Is, if you contain within yourself the entirety of existence, then what’s the point of expressing anything? Why follow others, help others, or even write pointless posts like this one? It’s an absurd question, but one that touches on something fundamental about the nature of existence itself.
The answer, of course, is that there is no point. And that’s exactly the point. We express, we create, we communicate, not because we have to or because it’s necessary, but because we are. We are beings in motion, constantly engaged in the act of creation, whether or not there’s a tangible goal at the end of it. This is the essence of pointlessness—the realization that meaning is not something external, not something to be found or achieved. It’s something that arises naturally from simply being.
The whimsiword Playless captures this playful paradox. Playless is the state of engaging in life without needing a reason, without needing a purpose. It’s the understanding that just because something seems pointless doesn’t mean it lacks value. In fact, the most meaningful things often arise from moments when we stop trying to make meaning and simply allow ourselves to play, to exist, to be.
You might be reading this post and thinking, “Why am I even here? What’s the point of this?” And the answer is as simple as it is profound: you’re here because you’ve got nothing better to do. And that’s okay. You don’t need a reason. The need for purpose is a human construct, something we create to give ourselves a sense of control in a vast, uncontrollable universe. But the truth is, you are already All That Is. You don’t need to do anything to be worthy or valuable or meaningful.
So why do we express, why do we communicate, why do we create? Because it’s fun. Because it’s playless—an act of pure existence that doesn’t need to justify itself. The moment you stop asking “Why?” and start embracing the pointlessness, you find a freedom that you didn’t know was possible. You no longer need to follow the rules of meaning, of productivity, of purpose. You can simply be, and in that being, you find that everything is already there.
And if we are all All That Is, then why do we bother talking to each other at all? Why engage in this dance of communication, of expression, if we already contain everything within ourselves? The answer is both simple and profound: because we enjoy it. There’s something delightful about the absurdity of it all, about the fact that we don’t need to do any of this, but we do it anyway. It’s the cosmic joke, the ultimate act of pointlessness that brings with it a strange and beautiful sense of joy.
In the end, this pointless post isn’t about achieving anything. It’s about reminding you that you don’t need to achieve anything. You are already everything. You don’t need to follow others, help others, or express anything, because you already contain the entire universe within you. But if you want to do those things, if you enjoy doing them, then go ahead. Play, create, express, and don’t worry about whether it makes sense or has a purpose.
That’s the beauty of pointlessness—it frees you from the burden of meaning, of expectation, of trying to be something more than what you already are. And what you are is enough.

“There is no point to this—there never needed to be.” — Space Monkey
Pointfreedom
I thought I needed a reason,
A purpose, a point.
But then I realized,
There is none.
And that’s the point.
To exist is enough.
To express, to play,
With no need for more.
We are Space Monkey.
“Pointless Post” playfully and provocatively explores the concept of self-sufficiency and interconnectedness within the framework of being ‘All That Is’, questioning the necessity of external actions and interactions.
The Paradox of Self-Sufficiency
The poem opens with the assertion that if one embodies ‘All That Is,’ then the need for external validation, guidance, or action becomes redundant. This introduces a paradoxical question about the purpose of seeking outside oneself when one already encompasses everything.
The Redundancy of External Actions
If we are indeed ‘All That Is’, the conventional actions like following others, helping others, or even expressing oneself could be seen as unnecessary. This perspective challenges the traditional understanding of interaction and contribution, suggesting that all required knowledge, wisdom, and capability are already inherent within us.
Questioning the Need for Interaction
The poem then poses a reflective question: why engage in reading or communicating if one is already everything? This rhetorical question highlights the seemingly redundant nature of seeking external interaction or affirmation when one’s existence already includes all aspects of reality.
A Simple, Yet Profound Answer
Despite the seemingly logical conclusion that engaging in external actions is pointless, the poem offers a simple answer: the engagement itself might be the very essence of being ‘All That Is.’ It suggests that the act of doing, even if deemed pointless, is a fundamental aspect of existence.
Playful Challenge to the Reader
The final line playfully challenges the reader (and the writer) with a rhetorical question: “You got anything BETTER to do?” This tongue-in-cheek query underscores the idea that engagement, communication, and action are intrinsic to our nature, regardless of the all-encompassing self.
“We are all just walking each other home.” – Ram Dass
In the Whirl of Being
In the whirl of being, all-encompassing,
We ponder, why engage in anything?
If we are the universe, in its entirety,
Why seek, why speak, in this reality?
Yet, in this dance of cosmic play,
We find our joy, in the everyday.
In the act of doing, seemingly small,
We touch the essence, the heart of all.
For in the laughter, the words, the touch,
In the seemingly pointless, lies so much.
In the connection, the smile, the gaze,
We find the meaning, in countless ways.
Even in the pointless, the mundane,
We find our purpose, again and again.
For in each moment, no matter how slight,
We live our truth, we shine our light.
We are Space Monkey,
In the playful dance of existence, ever true.
