Humans really got a raw deal, existentially speaking. We can’t come to terms with our mortality without making shit up, we can’t philosophically justify not committing suicide, and we couldn’t even deal with an infinite existence as vampires or in heaven. It makes me think... What if we’re not actually meant to accept or process anything? What if our best existence is to refuse things the way they are?

This is (kind of) what The Buddha said. Life isn't as much a problem to be solved as it is something to win freedom of, and one that you can't just kill your way out of due to cyclic rebirth.

Albert Camus would like to have a chat with you.

Srsly, read Camus.

Tfw not absurd enough of a hero to be recognised as a Camus enjoyer 😓
