Nothing makes sense

[Walker]

''Fear not. For fear itself is fed by fear, and all fears pass. Did no one tell you so? Come take my hand, my friend, and we will peer into this fear's abyss. And jump! And know.''

Instead of prematurely smashing on the jagged rocks below.

If that little voice telling you to jump off the cliff also tells you that you can fly little bird, fly and be free … it might be the drugs talking.

The person who accepts the absurdity of life surrenders to reality and can find lasting peace. They face the harsh truth upfront freeing themselves of the anxiety of searching for meaning.

I so agree. Life can be wonderful once you realise how ridiculous it is.

What, EXACTLY, do you perceive to be absurd or ridiculous in Life, Itself, besides, OF COURSE, some of those 'things' that 'you', adult human beings, do and think?

Sorry to hear that it's ridiculous for you right now, Harbal. Life doesn't need to be ridiculous and it shouldn't be in my book (but I'm "insane" of course). It can be better for everyone if industry would concentrate on things to sustain and heal people instead of spending so much on things to kill us.

But industry, itself, does NOT spend ANY 'thing' on 'things', which KILLS 'you', human beings, and "others". ONLY 'you', adult human beings, do those 'things'.

Apparently, I'm wrong about that too?

Well if you can do something about it, I suppose you ought to, but if you can't, why even think about it?

How do I not think about what is going on in Ukraine right now? It's all over the news media. Journalists are making all kinds of articles and comments about it regarding just about anything and everything that can be said about it. It's kind of difficult to block it out of my mind. What else should I be doing, than keeping up with what is going on in the world around me?

But the war in Ukraine isn't going on around you, is it?

I'm not sure there is much that I perceive as absurd or ridiculous apart from human activity.

I want to care for everyone. I want to care for everything. Is that not right? Is that not as it should be? But I can't. Not unless I want there to be harm.

There is a funny side to most things, and I believe it's well worth the effort to find it.

I agree, there is nothing more delicious than to be able to see the funny side of things, followed by...a really long spontaneous belly laugh.

An example of absurdity:

I wish I could see the humor there. However, please don't even bother to try to tell me. I don't want to know.

Well do something to help people, then. Just caring about them isn't much good to them.

I have no idea what makes me laugh out loud at the most random things, it could be something I am silently thinking about, or it could be something I am looking at, but it doesn't take much to trigger me into fits of uncontrollable laughter. It can even be just the way someone looks at me, or speaks to me, which will set me off. I've often peed myself, because I am able quite easily to laugh hard and long. I have no idea what has made me to be this kind of person, but I'm not complaining about it, I love it.

I can't even do much for myself right now, let alone for my mother who needs me also. I'm too worn down as it is. I hope every human being will do the right thing and what best should be done. Otherwise, I have nothing else to give anyone.

Well, I hope everything works out ok for all of us and you can continue to laugh. I haven't been able to sleep much in weeks now since my father passed away. Fatigue has been catching up to me but getting restful sleep is still extremely difficult.

That's a gift.
