Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Sheridan Voysey, Writer and broadcaster:聽
Comedy fans will know Larry David as the co-creator of Seinfeld and inspiration behind the George Costanza character鈥攖he man who gave us 鈥榙ouble dipping鈥� and 鈥榮erenity now!鈥� He鈥檚 also a decent actor. In 2009 he starred in a film called Whatever Works which I found both hilarious and thought-provoking. In the film David plays Boris Yellnikoff, a self-professed 鈥榞enius鈥� who, in an opening monologue, rants about the world鈥檚 鈥榗orruption, ignorance and poverty,鈥� declaring life to be absurd. What鈥檚 interesting is where this gloomy outlook leads. At the end of the film, Boris implores us to do 鈥榳hatever works鈥� to find some happiness. In the movie this includes, shall we say, a 鈥榗reative鈥� approach to relationships.
Funnily, Whatever Works got me wondering whether a 鈥榳hatever works鈥� approach to life actually works! Midway through the film life seemed good for Boris when it wasn鈥檛. Maybe his happiness at the end was only momentary too. The 鈥榳hatever works鈥� philosophy was famously tested out in the book of Ecclesiastes. There the writer recounts his quest for happiness through romance, work, pleasure and money, none of which satisfy. Only one thing brings him back from despair. Despite life鈥檚 trials, he says, we can find fulfilment when God is part of our living, working and loving. We鈥檝e just celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing. Only twelve people have set foot on that little grey satellite. Charlie Duke is number ten. I interviewed him once, becoming spellbound by his description of the Apollo 16 mission鈥攖he violent shaking of the spacecraft on take-off, racing lunar buggies across the moon鈥檚 landscape, being engulfed in flames as he hurtled back to earth.聽
But what came afterward was equally interesting. Charlie became, in his words, a restless man, driven to find 鈥榩eace and purpose鈥� after the biggest high anyone could have. He worked on the Apollo 17 mission, then the Shuttle programme; he went into business, he made money鈥攏one of it satisfied. Then his wife became a Christian and began to change. When he followed suit, he told me, he found what he鈥檇 been looking for. If going to the moon can leave you unfulfilled, I鈥檓 not sure the 鈥榳hatever works鈥� approach to life is enough. For me, the difference between life being absurd or fulfilling is less about the pursuit of romance, work and money, and more about inviting the presence of God into each of them.
