Everything leads back to absurdism. Reality is absurd and you can’t control nor predict anything. I don’t get why people want to control anything. Uncertainty is the only thing guaranteed and I’ve made peace with it.

one could argue that complete control is not something we should wish to attain. the boredom of absolute certainty can be it's own hell. surprise and uncertainty is a feature, not a bug

I choose delusional curiosity. Even when things are horrible, I'm curious enough to see where it goes, and believe it gets better. 😅

I’d argue it’s not about having complete certainty, nor is it about avoiding everything bad in life I think truly the purpose it’s just experiencing what you want to experience throughout all of the uncertainty and “bad things” that might happen to you. It not about controlling all aspects of life, just learning that you can experience the thing you want to experience while here.

Ive been dealing with these thoughts during the post-grad job search. Knowledge / training was supposed to guarantee safety and the reality is it doesn’t and it’s so frustrating

Growth is not knowing what you’re in, bc you will never understand that, growth is knowing you don’t know & being okay with it. Being like water & making yourself less rigid. The Tao

It’s nihilism vs absurdity. Do you give up because you figured out you have no control? Or when the next curveball comes your way do you sing and dance along with it. And you sit there knowing the choice kinda doesn’t matter.
