Embracing the inherent absurdity and lack of meaning in life can paradoxically empower one to create their own purpose and find fulfillment in the chaos.
摘要
The content explores the philosophy of absurdism and how it can reshape one's mindset. It begins by describing the author's personal experience of feeling trapped in a monotonous cycle of life, where nothing seemed to matter.
The core of absurdism is then explained - the recognition that life is inherently meaningless and devoid of inherent value. Rather than succumbing to nihilism or despair, absurdism invites us to confront this absurdity head-on and find meaning in the face of chaos.
The author shares how adopting an absurdist perspective helped them during a difficult time when they lost their job. By embracing the "so what" attitude and taking ownership of their choices, they were able to start a successful blog and build a fulfilling life.
The content then outlines three key ways absurdism can be beneficial: 1) Embracing freedom and creating one's own purpose, 2) Finding meaning in the chaos of everyday life, and 3) Cultivating resilience to navigate life's inevitable challenges.
The overall message is that by acknowledging the absurdity of existence, one can paradoxically gain the freedom to shape their own destiny and find genuine fulfillment, rather than searching for predefined meaning or purpose.
