Reading the comments here, It seems my disabled, poor ass is never going to get to leave the USA, even if I had the means. I voted against the orange regime and it's similar evils over the years.. And yet, I will be condemned to the mass grave that is soon to be America. I guess know that I genuinely tried my best, from talking relatives on how the orange was evil, to helping people vote for candidates that aligned more with the world's values, and protested even if it wasn't on the street, it was in my own way.. Because I'm disabled in the USA.. and it sometimes difficult to even survive, let alone topple an evil regime. But if I am to be lumped in with rest of the pigs if the US.. I guess. When you find my body, you'll wonder how a human got in the pig mass grave.
Yep! That's how it goes.
You can see something similar if you look at Ukraine threads talking about Russians, or Gaza threads talking about Israelis.
Humanity sure has a lack of humanity. Its.. Really not fair. I've been against this type if evil all my life.. And my reward is that get to die with them.. It really isn't fair... Like comicly unfair. For me nor for them. So why try anymore?
We continue to try because it is our duty to humanity. We struggle because it is right to struggle for goodness. And together we hope that by our struggles we can impact the world for the better and move towards an international community of those who struggle for goodness.
The evil wish us to despair and stop.
I.. I see.. Ill try, though, I will not be able to do much. Not because I don't want to, but because my body has decided that a little is all I'm allowed to do.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Just wish I knew how he copes with dispare.
Well, there's a whole book about it. Matter of fact, the dude wrote many books on the topic.
Type "one must imagine Sisyphus happy" into your search engine of choice.
Did some reading. I've suffered most of my life and I've watched my own boulder roll down the hill many times. It seems Sisyphus didn't have any physical conditions that made it harder each time. No wonder he is happy. He is struggling, but not in pain that isn't self inflicted. So he can take his happy ass and keep on a pushing like a mother who continues to raise thier kids despite those kids draining everything they held dear. Or the a farmer who enjoys the tough summer days.
But, me, all my strength was taken from me via disease. All my stamina snapped away due to a body who aches to die but a soul that stays alive because my death would mean the sarrow for many.
As much as I sacrificed, as much as I suffer, and as much cry out in pain only known to a select few, there is no reward, there is no peace, and there is no happiness.
He can stay happy, he is a useful machine to those in power. Contact me when he figures out that the gods themselves are the evil ones.
Hmm. Well, it is pretty clear you didn't do any reading.
Sorry I didn't read the entire book. Too busy trying to not being in pain and trying to survive in this helish world and trying to maximize my time with family, friends, and people who loving me instead of reading a book that who's goal is to tell me: "life is suffering, be happy about it because without suffering there is no happiness." Absurdism is symptom of gross inequality, not a valid way to live and a excuse to not fight for change. Entropy may be the natural state of the universe, and I will agree fighting it is a fruitless battle, but dancing with it and telling it to fuck off for abit while we fix some problems it caused isn't.
Instead of me wasting time on a damn book, why don't you explain the nuance I missed?
Oh, I'm not implying you didn't read the book. That part is extremely obvious. I'm implying that you didn't even bother skimming the wikipedia article.
Not really sure what I can do with that. Maybe you'll be better off wallowing?
I read the wiki, I read reddit discussions, I've skimmed other essays. I still hold my claims. What do you think I'm missing? I don't wallow in dispair, you act like I have a choice when it is the farthest from the truth. The only reason I have any remote ammount if happiness is that I broke the boulder. Sisyphus is a bitch.
Then it's a problem of reading comprehension, because absurdism is not that. Absurdism is finding joy in action.
Go wallow in your misery then.
Read just fine. I'm glad you find joy on action. For me action causes lots of pain due disability. So I must be selective with action. When you find no joy in action because every action brings you pain, it is very difficult to be happy in the struggle. The actions I do, like responding to you, have meaning becausey literal blood is within them. But there is no joy. I only feel joy something finally eases the pain. I'm sorry your philosophy did not hold against this human.
