Sorry I didn’t read the entire book.
Too busy trying to not being in pain and trying to survive in this helish world and trying to maximize my time with family, friends, and people who loving me instead of reading a book that who’s goal is to tell me: “life is suffering, be happy about it because without suffering there is no happiness.”
Absurdism is symptom of gross inequality, not a valid way to live and a excuse to not fight for change.
Entropy may be the natural state of the universe, and I will agree fighting it is a fruitless battle, but dancing with it and telling it to fuck off for abit while we fix some problems it caused isn’t.
Instead of me wasting time on a damn book, why don’t you explain the nuance I missed?
Oh, I’m not implying you didn’t read the book. That part is extremely obvious. I’m implying that you didn’t even bother skimming the wikipedia article.
Not really sure what I can do with that. Maybe you’ll be better off wallowing?
I read the wiki, I read reddit discussions, I’ve skimmed other essays.
I still hold my claims.
What do you think I’m missing?
I don’t wallow in dispair, you act like I have a choice when it is the farthest from the truth. The only reason I have any remote ammount if happiness is that I broke the boulder.
Sisyphus is a bitch.

Then it’s a problem of reading comprehension, because absurdism is not that. Absurdism is finding joy in action.
Go wallow in your misery then.
