Quote of the Day

“There ain’t no answer.
There ain’t gonna be any answer.
There never has been an answer.
That’s the answer.
(Gertrude Stein)

“I have always been attracted by lost causes, by individuals without a hope of success, whose follies I have espoused until I suffer from them almost as much as they do.” (E.M. Cioran)

An Absurd World…

A Belgian man has become increasingly anxious and sleep deprived over the last 9 years because he has been getting pizzas delivered to his door that he never ordered. This can occur at all hours, even 2am, and each time he has to turn them away. On one day, in January 2019, 10 different delivery men showed up at his door, one having 14 pizzas to give to him, which of course he refused.

“I cannot sleep anymore. I start shaking every time I hear a scooter on the street. I dread that someone will come to drop off hot pizzas yet another time”

How easy it is for a person to get tangled up in insignificant things. You can walk for hours from the table to the wardrobe and from the wardrobe to the couch and never find a way out. You can even forget where you are and shoot arrows into some small cabinet on the wall.

Absurd responsibly. The Buddhist no harm principle applies here. Do not harm yourself or others when going absurd. (Maybe what I have just written is absurd?)
