Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for August 02, 2015
Transcript:
Calvin: "We all want meaningful lives. We look for meaning in everything we do" Calvin: "But suppose there IS no meaning! Suppose life is fundamentally absurd!" Calvin: "Suppose there's no readon or truth, or rightness in anything!" Calvin: "What if nothing means anything? What is nothing really matters?" Hobbes: "I guess there's no harm in a little wishful thinking" Calvin: "Or suppose EVERYTHING matters. Which would be worse??"
If life is fundamentally absurd, that’s not “no meaning”; that’s negative meaning.If life has no meaning, nothing means anything.
