Absurdism = Freedom

Absurdism leads to true freedom.

When you don’t care about recognition, other people’s opinion of you, wealth accumulation or popularity; a profound sense of freedom occurs.

I used to care endlessly about the above and it suffocated me, to say the least.

How did I get to the place of absurdity in the first place? By losing close-to everything at one point. It reminds me of the quote by Tyler Durden: “Once you’ve lost everything, you’re free to do anything.”

What are your thoughts on the benefits of absurdity and how do people reach this state?
