Personal life philosophy

[Brandon]

Absurdism in the tradition of Albert Camus.

Life is devoid of a higher meaning, there are no "absolutes," and total objectivity is impossible. Similarly, the universe is chaotic and indifferent. Mankind, however, will never be satisfied with this predicament, and will forever demand clarity, unity, and meaning from a world that can't grant them.

I live my life in conscious acceptance of the irrational aspects and contradictions that embody the human condition. I don't deny or try to supress my longing for the "missing piece" that will make me feel complete, but at the same time, I realize that it doesn't exist. I also refuse to take a "leap of faith" into an unproven belief system simply to make me feel better about or "transcend" my limited existence.
