First of all, I t...General comment to the editors:<br /><br />First of all, I truly appreciate your blog - its mere existence relieves me, regardless of how much I like the particular things you write.<br /><br />That said, I think it misses out on one crucial component of absurdism: struggle. "The absurd" does not merely refer to meaninglessness. It refers to the struggle that meaninglessness brings upon humans. Your writing is clever and perceptive, but the writers bear no sign of a deeper existential struggle, even though that's what the entire myth of Sisyphus rests upon. Therefore, I fear that true absurdism is not quite represented here.<br /><br />I'm aware that this is not a group therapy board for absurdists. The very concept would be oxymoronic. So while I don't suggest anybody pour their heart out here, a little meditation on angst couldn't hurt to bring out the true face of the absurd.Steffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325774077803106978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26036650874725191.post-39508627744853920732011-10-05T22:50:24.692-04:002011-10-05T22:50:24.692-04:00The absurdity of it all is, as you suggest, libera...The absurdity of it all is, as you suggest, liberating. Like you, the less meaning there is, the more free, lighthearted, and easy going I feel. When there is nothing to lose, you can only gain, or remain the same. And it's okay either way.<br /><br />-Nathan of leadfootedrabbit.comThe Leadfooted Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891735551833645081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26036650874725191.post-52926961438709198892011-09-25T13:13:58.171-04:002011-09-25T13:13:58.171-04:00it seems as though the absurd is everywhere and in...it seems as though the absurd is everywhere and in everything. camus would be proud of your (meaningless) observations :)Aguilar Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06200558918676043343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26036650874725191.post-52150090250957164582011-09-18T08:06:13.270-04:002011-09-18T08:06:13.270-04:00Here you go spoutin' Scripture again . . .Here you go spoutin' Scripture again . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
