To quote @kobiespriggs: Here is a link to an amazing speech. It was recently the 70th anniversary of Camus's speech he did in the United States during his one and only visit. It is read in English by Viggo Mortenson. If you have the time it is worth a listen. If you want to skip the formalities Viggo starts reading around the 13 minute mark. Enjoy it is beautiful.

What if the world does not exist and has no meaning?
One's current mind may go to sleep and move on to a "new life", but still not all forgotten in some cases. Interesting nonsense is like non-sense that doesn't make sense. Maybe if we make more sense of the nonsense so our mind truly senses more understanding. :)
The meaning our lives is the happiness of spirit in its pure creative form - stripped of all its ego ... then we apply the full Steemit blog CREATIVE FIREWORKS to it :))
I'm not sure philosophy can provide al the meaning people seem to be looking for, as it is too honest for that, but some literature appears to organise meaningfully what is just happenstance in the real world.
But then, they don't call it "fiction" for nothing.
As I was walking to work this morning, I saw a bumper sticker on a parked car: "Don't believe everything you think."
We make these determinations that a lot of things are "important," but WHO is actually saying they are important? If we sit with it for a while, much of the time, the so-called "importance" is externally applied and has little to do with what we actually are feeling...

Fireworks and feathers = Heavenly :)
Your feather inspired me to add '#2 Human Steemit Poster' to my profile headline :)

Wise words are always from the @ocrdu - do take a look at the video - I'm currently at 1:08:34 - I love it!!
I will, I have read the speech's transcript, but it was a long time ago.
@mindhunter sorts out the evening entertainment for @ocrdu :))

That is a very clever observation @denmarkguy - I love that bumper sticker! ;) The Viggo vid in this post is excellent BTW - and he's part Danish too!
