Description

The concept of the absurd and the relationship between the absurd and suicide are the subjects of this essay. Once a person acknowledges the disparity between their rational desire for understanding and happiness and the silence of the world, can they judge whether life is worth living? This is the fundamental question of philosophy. However, if the absurd seems evident to me, I must maintain it with a clear effort and accept to live experiencing it. My rebellion, my freedom, my passion, will be its consequences. A person, certain that they will die completely, yet rejecting death, freed from the supernatural hope that bound their hands, will be able to know the passion of life in a world given to their indifference and its perishable beauty. However, creation is for them the best opportunity to keep their consciousness awake before the brilliant and irrational images of the world. The struggle of Sisyphus, who scorns the gods, loves life, and hates death, becomes the symbol of human fate.
