Habit Proportion Absurdity

More From Marcel Proust

I am not sure one is capable of reflecting absurdity without having a strong sense of meaning. absurdity makes sense only against a meaningful background. it is the deeper meaning that is shedding light on the absurdity. there must be a vanish point, a metaphysical horizon if you will where absurdity and meaning merge.

People Liberty Citizens
