Have you ever been so confused with the meaning of life, you just feel lost and purposeless? I'm sure all of us have pondered this topic. Why are we here? How did we get here? What should I be doing with my life? These are all questions that are bothersome but they are all questions that we as humans have asked ourselves.
The philosophical view of Absurdism addresses this human dilemma in a way. Absurdism is the belief that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe. If we accept this reality whole heartedly, the whole dilemma of existence dissipates. If we live in the moment and accept the universe as it is, without worrying too much about the why's of life, a very blissful level of peace can be achieved. It's a hard end to get to, but it can be a beneficial way of thinking.
As humans, we do have the urge to always seek out new information and to keep learning. This is a healthy compulsion that we have, but sometimes it can be a little bit unnecessary. When it comes to one of the biggest questions of all, that of what is the purpose of life in general, it might do us better to not worry about it and just focus on living a life of love.
