Dive into Albert Camus philosophy of the absurd, and explore the question: if the world is meaningless, could our lives still hold value? Albert Camus grew up surrounded by violence. His homeland of Algeria was mired in conflict. He lost his father in World War I. Seeing World War II's devastation, Camus grew despondent. What was the meaning behind all this endless bloodshed and suffering? And if the world was meaningless, could our individual lives still hold value? Nina Medvinskaya explores Camus philosophy of the absurd

Remove your blindfold and you'll see that life is indeed meaningless unless you give it meaning. People want you to think that this particular view on life will make you unhappy. It won't. You can be happy and think that. Problem is that you won't be as productive if you think that. If you think life is meaningless you won't serve society. There is peace in oblivion but this isn't that. Meaninglessness can mean freedom. Once you understand that, you can be whatever you want.

I do not think that life is meaningless but neither do i think that the meaning is for you to give it it's meaning. The meaning is already there, one must just try to find it. You might come across it rather quicky or you might spend your whole life wondering but in the end i think it is worth it because if there is even a small chance that i might be able to find a meaning to this existence i did not ask for i am definetly not giving up.

The word MEANING means - Comparing something with something familiar or something we know very well and just a way of simplification (variable for different personalities)
So by the definition, MEANING has no specific MEANING in the first place.

reply

There is no objective meaning to life, but there is subjective meaning. Subjective meaning is actually better because we have the freedom to choose it instead of being forced to abide by one meaning alone.

My principle:
The meaning of Life does not exist, however one gives itself and other things a meaning
Kind of like how you care about certain things which have value to you, you gave them value.

reply

Life may be meaningless, without reason, but here we are nonetheless, listening carefully for any message from the universe we find ourselves placed in, but all we ever seem to hear is a deafening silence.
reply

For someone who'd peeked the game of this world, I would say the life is hard yet easy when you know 'the real reality'.
The game is simple: Remember your purpose, and get ready for the next stages.

I think that we live on this Earth to accomplish a certain mission, after it is accomplish we are sent on another, and another until we die. Our goal is also to pave the way for generations to come.
reply

Life is meaningless but the goal is to make that meaning for yourself. Might as well since to the best of your knowledge this is the only chance at the game that you have.
