Cheesecake? Now that's living.![]()
OK!? exactly.
I don't think we're here for fun. If you have some in your life, it's a bonus.
Sadly, I feel this way sometimes as well.

Enjoying one's life and defining that as "fun" are different things. There are many people who do have fun but do not see it as any raison d'etre.
Martin Luther King. Fun.
Frank Lloyd Wright. Fun.
The Wright Brothers. Fun.
Abraham Lincoln. Fun.
Elie Wiesel. Fun.
Leontyne Price. Fun.
Diana Nyad. Fun.
Stephen Hawking. Fun.
President Obama. Fun.
Ralph Nader. Fun.
Somehow, "fun" doesn't marry up with the names.
Nice try, but there isn't an objective observer who would define the named worthies on that list as "put here for fun."
They are known for their merit, their accomplishments, and their sense of purpose. That they could or did enjoy their work and lives, or have fun, was not the question; rather, it is not what they were "here for."
There is nothing personalized about my interpretation of the meaning of fun. It remains largely about amusement and enjoyment.
