        Basically Nihilism vs. Absurdism. Nihilism is, life’s meaninglessness and now I’m sad. Absurdism is, life’s meaninglessness and I’m going to try just cause I want to.

        Life’s meaninglessness either way, the question is are you going to be a little bitch about it?

          There’s a lot of ways you can take it. I look it as if you take a step back, the world is a strange and surprising place absent of your place in or ability to influence it. I say why worry about what you can’t change and delight in it as it unfolds. A less cynical take on “farce”.
