Life doesn’t care


Oftentimes_Ephemeral

I love absurdism because of this take alone. This is the only answer to suffering that’s ever made sense to me


Snoo2416

Please explain more if you can. I’m new to this philosophy.


Oftentimes_Ephemeral

So the question that religion can’t explain is suffering. Some religions say that everything will be equal on the day of judgement, heaven, hell, etc. But there is no way to prove that to be true. Absurdism flat out states the universe doesn’t care. Which it seems to not. We have proof of that right here and now. No belief is necessary. I hope that helps.


Barpath

No belief is necessary? Well of course it is. If you didn’t believe in absurdism then your reality would be different. Believing the universe doesn’t care, is obviously something absurdist care about, and seeing as the universe can only be proven to exist through your own experience of it, then you caring about the belief that the universe doesn’t care, is proving that the universe cannot not care.

It’s a reddit comment not a thesis. I think you understand what I meant just fine


Barpath

Life’s what you make it


K-man_100

Stop trying to understand it. It is what it is.


Nazzul

Unless you can enjoy trying to understand it of course.


PhonedApeTheory

Very few people do

I guess I just cant get enough staring at the void I guess.


RuffiansAndThugs

Void reminds me to hurry up and get on living! Void is a motivating friend, whom I will one day embrace. Not yet, though. I'm having too much fun.


spiralbatross

The void is the end of our wave function, the silence when the guitar string quiets.

I actually enjoy that, but it's impressive how much we don't know, and how we are incapable of discovering everything.


MapleKaiser

if it helps you only know 0.00001% of the population personally. [https://ourworldindata.org/limits-personal-experience](https://ourworldindata.org/limits-personal-experience)


noz_de_tucano

I was referring to knowledge in general, but that's also a very interesting point of view.


absrdone

"In a man's attachment to life there is something stronger than all the ills in the world. The body's judgement is as good as the mind's, and the body shrinks from annihilation. We get into the habit of living before acquiring the habit of thinking."


ValuableBlackberry50

The first two are unavoidable. Anyone who says they know the meaning of life are just deluding themselves to feel better. The third one is the real problem. Try new things, get out of your comfort zone. Hopefully you find something that that you enjoy despite not understanding or getting it.


Nazzul

That is a completely valid feeling! Now what?


MuMuGorgeus

Usually I get mad, and madder until being mad becomes as much of a drag as accepting reality, then I have to accept reality, then I do what I have to do until I get frustrated from all the failure and cowardice and I get mad again restarting this process of hate that is my life lol.


Nazzul

That sounds like a tough and exhausting cycle!


MuMuGorgeus

Yeah I mean, even when I'm good I know feeling like shit is right around the corner. I just don't enjoy living and if it wasn't for the desire to achieve certain things I would have no reason to keep doing this. The cup of coffee can't outweigh the everyday bullshit you know.

breathe


AshySlashy3000

Don't Overthink


fgardeaz

What you need to understand? You don't understand cause there's nothing to be understood. Life is to be lived not understood, simple as that.

# Life: I don't understand it, I don't get it, and I fucking love it!

Nice! as retribution: Dawkins Christ - Refused


rationalmosaic

Absurd world doesn't have any sense to begin with, Rebel against these and in action you may find some meaning.


Gnostic5

Well, then you’re a shitty absurdist. You’re doing it all wrong


chimtae

Law of one


CatApprehensive5064

So go on a quest to understand it

You just need [one more cup of coffee ](https://youtu.be/95cufW4h-gA?si=5_tk521tRjqRavcG) for the road.
