[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3733767, member: 63706"] I subscribe to the philosophy of absurdism, which is a branch of existentialism, but only as a part of my over all view on life. The quest for truth is most surely a doomed enterprise, which is where the absurdity comes in. Nihilism would say, since it's impossible to know truth, then there cannot be truth to know. Absurdism says it's impossible to know truth, but I'm going to try anyway. It's like a samurai, trying to beat back the oncoming tide. It's impossible, but the attempt will make him stronger. It's why people climb mountains, because they're there. You don't really know what's impossible until you try, and even if you fail, someone else may succeed, so we keep on keeping on. [/QUOTE]
