I believe if the dead could come back for 1 minute and say what they would do differently they would say they wouldn't spend even one second on worry. Knowing inevitable disappearance into eternal nothingness is ahead...worry in life as a thing is truly absurd
While worrying without doing anything smart may damage or kill you, healthy worrying wakes you up and do smartest thing you can think of to remedy the situation you are facing. That is why the Creator in his holy book Quran says "Why do not use your brain?"
Searching for meaning is no different than searching for anything. Searching for something means seeking what is not present, and implies dissatisfaction with the present moment, and the act of searching means missing what is present, while craving what is not present. This is suffering. Searching is suffering. Acceptance is the way to enlightenment.
Camus one of my favourite writers. Thank you for a refreshing n easy to understand narrative on Camus philosophy of life. In the end of his book The Plague he said, "There is more to admire in man than to despise." What an optimistic view of an absurd world we live in!
I adored the novel THE PLAGUE. I don't think it gets enough recognition. Camus was a craftsman; his prose at once is tight but fluid. In addition to the philosophical aspects I appreciate his artistry. Great book.
@@tomgardner8825 Tom~ I got to meet Ram Dass in San Francisco many years ago. I also used to own a meditation center in Kenwood, California. We had many classes and lectures, and even had a Bonafide Buddhist monk from Tibet give a lecture. I've even been to Tassajara Hot Springs and Buddhist retreat in the Carmel Valley, so I have seen about everything in this world. Nothing can possibly surprise me. Well, in fact, everything is pretty boring and predicable. Back a few years ago, I took LSD with MDMA. Now, that was entertaining, but temporary. Then back to the mundane. Always back to the same grey, bleak, boring life. Pretty lame, really. Never any good news, or a nice surprise. Oh well. Tune in. Turn on. Drop out.
How nicely you have put thoughts in words♥️ Each person's 'meaning ' to life is different, there is no one single definition for a " meaningful life" Life certainly becomes meaningful if we put our own " meaning " in to it, 👍👍

I am absurdism. Create your own purpose. Find meaning in chaos. Who cares what people think. Be unconventional. Dont conform to former worldly milestones. Embrace suffering. How do we choose to respond? Life is a constant struggle.
Most never get in touch with futility because they have eliminated unknowns and think that everything is working out great, other than their transgression from what they called true which offers a complacency that is equated to comfort and security, but this is easily challenged by change
This is wonderful! I have cobbled a similar philosophy together on my own. I dragged my ass through misery for many years before I discovered Joseph Campbell and many alternatives to what I learned as a child. One thing I value most that wasn't here is the importance of good, supportive relationships. Learn how to care for myself and others and find others who can do the same. And the Cysiphis myth represents hell until one accepts it. My rock has tumbled many times yet there's always a life lesson in the experience.
We are here to experience We shouldn't take others or ourselves too seriously We should try our best and let go of the rest Always embrace love and pursue fun, as it is there that life is best
the fact that the urge and search for meaning is a big part of our being, is a hint that there ACTUALLY IS a deeper meaning to our life. This strong feeling that there is some meaning out there is a hint that there truly is something our psyche wants to connect with, maybe god.
I like to live avoiding a "never" and "always" outlook. A purpose may not be known or impossible and our understanding limited but it doesn't rule out more answers that will change what we believe.
It's a great statement. Some people live life for love and some people live life for money. Then some people live outside the box. At the end of the day. It's good to think about what others think about you but you damn sure don't dwell on it. That's the biggest thing that technology has brought us. People now base their value in themselves on how others look at them. That pretty much is the motor behind social media.

I had this theory that the energy you output in life determines your place in the universe. We are essentially energy and the universe has l chaos, order, peace, and binding(togetherness).

Wow, this is pretty much how i lived my liffe the past 10 years but i never heard of Absurdism. I think the Book "The subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" teaches something along these lines.
Like Sisaphus ,in the small.land of Kerala ,India there is popular folklore Naranathu Branthan ..means mad man named Narain.He rolled boulder upnthe mountains rolled down and laughed enjoyed as much as Man enjoys the struggles for petty pleasure . Spirituality is finding a higher purpose
I think we can find different individual purpose. However, our collective purpose is to be conscious observers of the universe and to provide future generations of observers.
For many years I claimed to be a nihilist, which I think I really was, but after watching this video I learned I turned into an absurdist at some point.
"They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice, that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person." ~Arthur Schopenhauer
We suffer from a meaningless live, because very powerfull and rich families, build a system in wich we work for them to make them richer. Ones we break down this system, we can be free and life won't be meaningless, but satisfying. Love, Trust and Freedom are the key "players" for a life of fullfillment.
It's amazing how much Camus' ideas, at least how presented in this piece, ring of Christian thought. 'Embrace suffering, embrace struggle, absurdity, don't dispair'. The question is is it possible without God? Not the marvel comic superhero god that most imagine. Is it possible without the God of your consciousness.

I find comfort via astrology. For example Pluto is leaving Capricorn and entering Aquarius. It helps me to make sense of the chaos in the world and gives me hope for the people.
Yes I am Capricorn sun and the past 20 years have been hell on earth with Pluto in our sign. It’s such a huge planetary movement that won’t happen again for over two hundred years and I think it’s sad most people are oblivious to the effects the planetary movement have on us.
Are those who once lived dead forever? No, they still live through their influence over our lives. Do the creators of a thing such as a house non-existent? They could not have been non-existent if they created a house. So, who created the earth, the universe and it's planetary movements? Does something which is unseen non-existent even though it's influence is still existent?
"Yeah, here in this joint it seems like a lot. But I tell you, if you was to make a real strike, you couldn't be dragged away.

The philosophy of Albert Camus is nicely summarised. However, I feel that the last part, "Absurdism: A double edged sword" is uncalled for. It appears as if you tried to append your own little philosophy at the end!
Oh, the purpose of life is for the universe to experience every possible situation and successfully learn of it. You're the center but are you centered. Live not for your selfish lil desires realize you're party to the whole
Camus' 3 options: 1. I sometimes envy those who can adopt this, but they can be some of the most dangerous people alive. Besides, I'd rather be miserable seeking truth than happy and ignorant. 2. No thanks. But I understand the desire if you're not present. 3. Absurdism is merely a repackaging of Buddhistic thinking: be present. Flow. Surrender and enjoy.
Surely if something has no meaning then it cannot be absurd. By implication, "absurd" is a judgment indicating some meaning. Sisyphus was condemned. He was being tortured. His fate had meaning. Unpleasant meaning but meaning all the same.
14:57 This guy claims no philosophy explains life better than religion and should adhere to one but he suggests people should keep exploring why we exist. Religions basically are against the later, they claim a diety is the reason why you exist and everything you can't make sense of it is god's mysterious ways and should be left at that. Start making sense, dude.
The world today is full of misery, and happiness ; the ends of the spectrum exist at the same time. If you want happiness, don't ask questions. The answer is that there is no answer . .
The universe may not provide me with meaning, but if I approach life with lebenslust, meaning will appear. There are plenty of reasons to put our hearts into . Global warming is just one such cause. Will we join hands in this struggle? It might feel futile in its enormity, but but together we will achieve CLIMATE STABILITY. Setting up the plan and then following through. Isn't that meaning enough?

@wretchedknave1133 interesting take
@@wretchedknave1133exactly. If I worry, it’s regarding my children.
Meaning is living -plain and simple. Purpose is just another concept that keeps most people searching for meaning instead of being aliveness itself.
Yes all animals just wake up and live. If they they had also evolved to speak like us humans they would come up with the same stuff.
Purpose and meanings are just products of our questioning - they are undefinable 😮

3. Absurdism is merely a repackaging of Buddhistic thinking: be present. Flow. Surrender and enjoy.
If i could i would rather be ignorant but happy.
Surely if something has no meaning then it cannot be absurd. By implication, "absurd" is a judgment indicating some meaning. Sisyphus was condemned. He was being tortured. His fate had meaning. Unpleasant meaning but meaning all the same.
14:57 This guy claims no philosophy explains life better than religion and should adhere to one but he suggests people should keep exploring why we exist. Religions basically are against the later, they claim a diety is the reason why you exist and everything you can't make sense of it is god's mysterious ways and should be left at that. Start making sense, dude.
"People should explore every ideology, every religion and see what aligns with him. Then stick to it" That Guy is claiming that!
@@PhiloNauticaa so basically delude yourself.
The world today is full of misery, and happiness ; the ends of the spectrum exist at the same time.
If you want happiness, don't ask questions. The answer is that there is no answer . .
The universe may not provide me with meaning, but if I approach life with lebenslust, meaning will appear. There are plenty of reasons to put our hearts into . Global warming is just one such cause. Will we join hands in this struggle? It might feel futile in its enormity, but but together we will achieve CLIMATE STABILITY. Setting up the plan and then following through. Isn't that meaning enough?
That's a good start, i would say!
This isn't absurd this is stupidy at grand scale
