Do you sometimes think that LIFE is so ABSURD?

I heard of someone's untimely death last week and then I remember those things he have done while he was alive, then I started to think that "LIFE IS SO ABSURD,WE DO SO MUCH ONLY TO DIE"... Happy Easter Fellow MyLotters...were there times you thought that LIFE was so absurd? At what point in your lives you thought Life was absurd?

life, surely, is full of uncertainties and is very unpredictable. these attributes are what make life 'life'. while we may not be able to add years to our lives we may certainly strive to deepen its breadth. they say, it's not the years that count in life but how we have led our lives. when i left college years ago before embarking on my carrier, that was the most absurd point of my life.

I never thought that life is absurd. However, life can be tiring sometimes and also boring. It happens if nothing changes in your daily activities and you don't have balance between these two- work and play. That's the reason I try to do some variations with my daily activities. I have regular routines which I can't miss doing. However, I try to make it interesting like doing some experiments and something out of the box especially at work. Whenever I feel that my life starts to get boring and tiring it only means one thing and that is I'm spending most of my time at work and I need to have a break. This is my go signal to have at least three days vacation with friends and family. In a way it reminds me the importance of enjoying life with the important people in our lives. Everyday as I wake up I always think positive. I think of all the good things that could happen for that day. It energizes me and gives me the strength I need for the whole day. If you're an optimist person life will never be absurd. I'm optimistic and I love it. Have a nice day!

Do you believe in transgression or reincarnation? I think that impacts my views on things. I believe in interdimensions, and if we die in this body, we use the knowlegde we gained from it, and when we enter our next body, it may be in another dimension or another species, or something that is not even imagined. So, in answer to your question, yes, LIFE IS ABSURD!

It is true that Life is absurd and obviously absurd is the first truth that we have to accept. Human beings come in to this world with empty hands, they complete their journey and they leave this world with empty hand. The only thing that is considered about a particular human being is their deed. What ever we do in this world is for individual pleasure and limited generosity. Therefore Life really seems to be an Absurd.
