The Absurd Sublime

in #life8 years ago

Till now, you have heard of the futility of the Absurd canonised in the myth of Sisyphus. I speak to you of the sublimity of the absurd. What is this absurd, if not the negation of all values and attributes, represented in the perennial existential equation: (+x) + (-x) = 0. The zero conquers all: both good and evil. To the Absurdist, it is appalling. But, to the rationalist, it isn't, as the all-effacing 'zero' is also the obverse side of infinity. So, what is, isn't and what isn't, is. This is the greatest Existential Paradox. And yet, it is liberating and hence, sublime.
