minus-square@prettybunnys@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink32•5 months agoWelcome to the philosophy of absurdism. Life has no meaning, nothing has purpose. In this freedom find the space to make your own meaning and your own purpose. You kitty likely had a long kitty life with someone who loved them and who they loved. You created purpose where none existed for the both of you. I am sorry for the loss of your kitty my dude, I’m sorry you’re hurting.

minus-squareDontMakeMoreBabieslinkfedilink4•edit-25 months agoOh for sure - I’ve been calling myself an Absurdist for years. It just fits and makes the most sense to me.
minus-squarewrath_of_grungelinkfedilink5•5 months agonothing really matters, that’s what gives our presence meaning. there is no grand score keeping, which makes things like kindness all the more meaningful. when nothing matters, how we live and express ourselves becomes even more meaningful.

minus-squareDontMakeMoreBabieslinkfedilink2•5 months agoI work in a career where some folks can really drink the coolaid… But, like, we’re not really changing anything? At all. But who cares? It is what it is - do the job, get paid, go home and do something fun.
