Life's a farce. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show
what do you mean by that?
Basically Nihilism vs. Absurdism. Nihilism is, life's meaninglessness and now I'm sad. Absurdism is, life's meaninglessness and I'm going to try just cause I want to.
Life's meaninglessness either way, the question is are you going to be a little bitch about it?
There's a lot of ways you can take it. I look it as if you take a step back, the world is a strange and surprising place absent of your place in or ability to influence it. I say why worry about what you can't change and delight in it as it unfolds. A less cynical take on "farce".
