Go Absurd 93 – Where It Doesn’t Pay To Do

 

“…because this blog* is absurd, I love it; because it is useless, I want to give it away; and because wanting to give it to you serves no purpose, I give it to you…”

(Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet)

*book (in the original quote from Pessoa)


Quote of the Day


“They are young and well built, they have another thirty years ahead of them. So they don't hurry, they take their time, and they are quite right. Once they have been to bed together, they will have to find something else to conceal the enormous absurdity of their existence.”

(Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea)

A Statistic That Probably Never Was or Will Ever Be…

From The Great Man Fernando Pessoa


“Your profile? It’s never the same, yet it never changes. And I say this because I know it, without knowing that I know it. Your body? It’s the same whether naked or dressed, and in the same position whether seated or standing or lying down. What is the meaning of this that means nothing?”

(From, The Book of Disquiet)


Deathbed Final Words That Were Probably Never Said…


“It wasn’t the size of the fight but the fight of the size. That’s my grand epiphany I leave with you.”


Go Absurd! Exercise:


In a public place (not within earshot of anyone), go up to a tree and exclaim,

“I can see a tree! Am I hallucinating?”

Remember

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?)
