Absurdism
    #16100711 -

Absurd philosophy holds that there is no meaning in the universe (or it is inaccessible to us), and this makes us uncomfortable. The solution is to decide how to face this situation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdism

So, how do you face life given it's inherent meaninglessness?

With an arrogant determination to make everyone else play by your rules.

humans create meaning, therefor life isn't meaningless as long as someone is around to give it meaning. however, imo life is most definitely absurd because there is no ultimate meaning. i cope with this inherent meaninglessness by simply admitting it's absurdity. absurdism is one of my favorite philosophical schools. the real question is why should this absurdity make us uncomfortable?

I actually think blingbling's quote is pretty good,

Quote:
"The man with the clear head is the man who frees himself from those fantastic ideas (the characterological lie about reality) and looks life in the face, realizes that everything in it is problematic, and feels lost.

I embrace its meaninglessness and pursue my hedonistic desires to their fullest.
