absurdity of human existence
The concept of the absurdity of human existence refers to the sense of meaninglessness and irrationality that can be felt when considering the fundamental nature of human life. It is the tension between our inherent desire for meaning and purpose in life, and the realization that such meaning may not actually exist in the universe. The absurdity of human existence is often explored in existentialist philosophy, where individuals grapple with the absurdity of their own existence in a seemingly indifferent world.
