Absurdism - Unreasonable Silence of the world And Human Need

absurdism in literature


“Critics says that absurd born out from the conflict between human need and unreasonable silence of the world”

Unreasonable Silence of the world: the questions which have not any accurate answer such as who created this world, who created human, what is the aim of life etc. 

Human Need: First, human came to the earth, then human’s need started arriving and this need help human to get progress.

For example: Situation of feeling hungry force humans for hunting, discovery of fire etc.

Needs are following humans form the start. There is a continue progression in need, there is not any full stop of human need. End of needs means end of life. Needs continually increase, First human need food to fill their hungry then they need water, then they need shelter.

“Here is my point that following of this pre decided criteria or process is the situation of absurdity because without questioning on this, without analysing that whether it is right or wrong you are accepting that there is God who created aim & purpose for us and we humans have to follow that aim”

Absurdist refused to accept that there is pre decided aim or purpose of life which the philosophers of God suggesting.

Critics questioned on the theory of Absurdism that “If there is no aim of life then we will lost the reason for living”

Albert Camus answered that “then human will meet true freedom”

For Example: We witnessed that she/he judge a particular situation, work or place on the basis of their religion that if religion says that it is right then they blindly follow without questioning that what he/she thinks on that matter. Therefore if a man follow a pre decided process or rules without analysing that, it means he is losing his individuality.

Loosing of individuality means absurdity. Means in simple term absurdity means loosing of their individuality and your own identity.

It is up to you that what you want to do in this earth. If you are doing something just because of the command of the religion it is absurdity of life.

We born in this earth with a religion and a caste (family sir name). During our life peoples judge or identify us on the behalf of our religion and family name so if we unable to make our own identity excluding our family name and religion then our life is absurd.
