Absurdity

I have been busy the past few weeks, and of course have thought a great many things, which I will pass along sooner or later, but wanted for this moment to say this: it is perhaps best, in philosophy, to contemplate what will make you laugh the most, the most openly, and the most deeply.

In my view, it is contemplating how absurd we all are.  We are all packages of mistakes, vanities, pettiness, error, judgementalism, sloth (which even the outwardly diligent are generally guilty of when it comes to deeper thought), cupidity, and self satisfaction.

Look at those around you.  Find their flaws.  Then realize you have the capacity for those very flaws yourself.

I am not speaking theoretically.  I am not saying it would be desirable for people to think like this.  I am saying that in my own experience, all that is needed to calm the most robust conceit is honest perception.

You can love that which you are, can you not?  You are that.

I will expand greatly on this in a few days, weeks, something.  For now, I am going to simply enjoy watching my own absurdity and that of others.
