No Explanation

May 6, 2013
Inspired by Albert Camus' The Stranger Are you scared      to think that you will never understand this life, little alone yourself or your friends? Are you frightened      to think of death, the after-life, and how near it may be lurking behind you? Do you question      your existence, the whole universe? Do you think there is some type of order,      rational explanation for it all? And who said that there is? Who said that humans will ever fully understand their self and other people,      this life and how it all works? It is what makes us people, homo sapiens, the thinking humans-- always rationalizing an irrational world, always searching for an explanation      even if there is none.
