The universe always answers, sometimes slowly, sometimes with unbelievable rapidity. The key is to ask with an open heart.

Dudes in the back are scared stiff. . .
"Didn't think she was going to talk, bro."

Well, it looks like it's time to push that boulder up the hill again. I'll see you guys at the bottom.

If a higher meaning to the universe existed, just because we do not know it now does not mean we can not know it eventually.

I also, however, do not believe there is a meaning to life, but I believe that is why it is beautiful. How cool is it that we get to inscribe our own meaning to life.

What show is this from? I vaguely remember watching this on a streaming service years ago and I want to revisit it 👀

That quote somehow makes more sense today with ai takeover around the corner.

Well said girl. Let me buy you a coffee...

Meaning is derived through narrative. If you want to know the meaning of life, you must simply choose a story.

nice lady.... was she once in the show the beverly hillbillies as the assistant to mr drysdale?

Its always the less systematic works of philosophy which make more sense by not getting into some sort of conceptual bind. Camus blblows away the cobwebs

[eggheadusa]

Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it can’t be understandable indefinitely for everyone else.

[STSBP]

Maybe Sisyphos shouldn’t have taken away the meaning from other people’s lives and he wouldn’t have ended up in that pickle

Bertrand Russell vóce drag manniplekin. 😁

Nietzsche tried to argue that art was meaningful, but i tend to think it's just another way to kill time

[FrJohnBrownSJ]

"There is no answer." It's heartbreaking how bad existentialism is.

[SalahSalah-rdwq]

Such stupidity.. it's simple believe in your God and stop following your lusts

[schwaarnkreddy]

Stripped of the Religion and the Religiosity and the attendant 'conditioned' value system of a human....what is (s)he INHERENTLY WORTH
as a Person in this
Indifferent and often Cruel
Universe???

True Philosophy has YET to Answer this single
all-important life-defining Question!!!

[kallianpublico]

A "..meaning that transcends.."? Do we eat to transcend eating? The Absurd is not a reaction to the absence of "higher meaning" but to the absence of rational functioning of government. It is not the universe that Camus appeals to but French society or humanity.

💫 SEEKING GIVES RISE TO TRUE-MEANINGS: ❤ “TURN IT ON‼️”
✌️Then when you find yourself, “In The ZONE, ” you’ll KNOW that, unmistakably too!!!!
👏Cuz, then, and only when that becomes a full partner with you, like a 3 legged race; is it all “Blue Sky” after that gig, man!🪽
💧But, IF most of humanity doesn’t start looking at you terribly sideways every time you talk? 💔 You KNOW you’re still doing it all WRONG G.F.‼️
✨Bc “It’s just physics, stupid!”
⚡️So, if you KNOW what you KNOW isn’t so? 👑 #FIXIT‼️
🌵Full Stop
