Absurdity
is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes
absurd
.

Absurdly
, I haven't yet got around to saying that football is a wonderful sport, but of course it is. Goals have a rarity value that points and runs and sets do not, and so there will always be that thrill, the thrill of seeing someone do something that can only be done three or four times in a whole game if you are lucky, not at all if you are not. And I love the pace of it, its lack of formula; and I love the way that small men can destroy big men … in a way that they can’t in other contact sports, and the way that t he best team does not necessarily win. And there’s the athleticism …, and the way that strength and intelligence have to combine. It allows players to look beautiful and balletic in a way that some sports do not: a perfectly-timed diving header, or a perfectly-struck volley, allow the body to achieve a poise and grace that some sportsmen can never exhibit.

But he had hardly felt the
absurdity
of those things, on the one hand, and the necessity of those others, on the other, (for it is rare that the feeling of
absurdity
is not followed by the feeling of necessity), when he felt the
absurdity
of those things of which he had just felt the necessity (for it is rare that the feeling of necessity is not followed by the feeling of
absurdity
.)

Abraham Maslow said that the fully realized person transcends his local group and identifies with the species. But the election of Ronald Reagan might've been the beginning of my giving up on my species. Because it was
absurd
. To this day it remains
absurd
. More than
absurd
, it was frightening: it represented the rise to supremacy of darkness, the ascendancy of ignorance.

In the twentieth century nothing can better cure the anthropocentrism that is the author of all our ills than to cast ourselves into the physics of the infinitely large (or the infinitely small). By reading any text of popular science we quickly regain the sense of the
absurd
, but this time it is a sentiment that can be held in our hands, born of tangible, demonstrable, almost consoling things. We no longer believe because it is
absurd
: it is
absurd
because we must believe.
