 The Absurd

The absurd to me, is the denial of the necessary. The world's unwillingness to yield to logic, and value. The world's inability to provide for its progeny. It is foundationless structures, and formless forms. It is purposeless striving, urgent intensity, and arbitrary passion. Its deterministic freedom, original sameness, and dead spirits. Its hollow solidity, isolated unity -- it is hope and despair.

It is life, it is death.

So what do we do about it? All answers that do not heartily embrace it are windmills in a hurricane. To deny it, what it denies us seems just, but it is a petty, child-like justice of spite. It lacks the magnanimity of a more mature justice. I say embrace it! Pull the absurd in close, and laugh. Laugh at yourself, laugh at the world. Laugh with joy and acceptance. Let the laughter echo from the finite edges of the boundless, and resonate with it; for we may not laugh last, we tiny creatures, but we may laugh best.

  1. Good Show!

    Read any Camus by chance? If not I think you might like The Stranger a lot. And if you are down for non-fiction, The Myth of Sisyphus afterward.

  3. what else is there to do than laught about life and its ups and downs? If you couldnt laugh at the worlds ability to be immune against most logic.... lets say, it would be a dark and rim world for you
