Absurdism

Humans have an innate desire to find meaning and purpose in their lives—whether through religion, career, relationships, or personal growth. This search often gives us direction and a sense of significance. However, from an existential or absurdist viewpoint, this obsession with purpose may be nothing more than a coping mechanism—a way to shield ourselves from confronting the stark reality that existence might be inherently meaningless.

In the vast, indifferent universe, human life is fleeting and inconsequential on a cosmic scale. The "absurd" arises when we seek meaning in a universe that offers none. Rather than accepting this, we create elaborate narratives of purpose to soothe ourselves. According to Camus, this is the essence of the absurd: the clash between our desire for meaning and the silent, indifferent universe.

Purpose is less about truth and more about distraction—something we cling to in order to avoid facing the raw, unsettling possibility that life has no inherent meaning at all.
