Falling In Love…
Over the past year, I have slowly been making progress through Albert Camus’ book, The Myth of Sisyphus. It is a journey into the Absurd, a philosophy arising “out of the fundamental disharmony between the individual’s search for meaning and the apparent meaninglessness of the universe.” It’s been quite a heavy and slow read, taking many breaks from reading to digest and discuss. The more I read about Absurdism, the more I fall in love with it and the more I realize the absurdity of falling in love with it.
“For the absurd man it is not a matter of explaining and solving, but of experiencing and describing. Everything begins with lucid indifference.” This really seems to wrap up my perception of life as of late. Actually, I’d say it’s how I’ve always been, just confused on what to call it and afraid of the outlash if I had diverged from the conformity. Maybe that explains my recent outburst of creativity. Locked up in a cell eating what I’ve been fed only produces the manufactured. Feasting of my own accord has led me to discover thoughts, actions, desires, passions and creativity I had never known to exist. It seems a slippery slope, judging myself to the type of creativity I let bleed through; I wouldn’t have it any other way.
It’s a strange thing to discover yourself. Especially strange when you discover that there is no definite answer to your own being. It is intoxicating, however; the constant evolution and revelations. It cracks the cement, letting the inner express itself. I await the day it all falls and emits freely.
