SHOULD I KILL MYSELF OR HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE? LAMENESS MULTIPLIED
-
- Philosophy
In this episode, the host (Nirjhar) delves into the philosophical problem of whether life is worth living and how to combat the feeling of disconnection and meaninglessness in an absurd world. The metaphor of having a cup of coffee is used to represent the simple pleasures of life that give us joy and pleasure even in the face of absurdity. Albert Camus' definition of absurdism and the tension between our desire for order, meaning, and happiness and the indifferent natural universe's refusal to provide that is explored. Despite facing adversity, there are moments of joy and beauty to be found that remind us that life is worth living. Suicide is never a solution to the problem of the absurd, and we must find joy in the present moment and embrace the simple pleasures that life has to offer. The episode concludes with the words of Albert Camus, encouraging us to live life with as much dignity, courage, and humour as possible.
