"How do you choose to live in spite of the absurdity of existence?"

In spite of? The absurdity is the REASON I choose to keep living. If life had some speciffic point to it, there's a good chance I wouldn't like it. Then I'd think about killing myself.

Seriously, this is why Camus got invited to so few parties.

The only guarantee you get in life is that you will eventually be dead. It's highly likely that being dead will be different than being alive. I see no argument for not experiencing every aspect of life prior to death since it's coming anyway. It's not as if absurdity is excuriatingly painful. I mean, sure, it can be, and if it gets that way and looks like it's going to stay that way, it's not like if I don't commit suicide right now I loose my option.
