absurdity
"...it may happen that life's settings fall apart. Getting up, streetcar, meals, sleeping and Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday in the same rhythm. This road is followed most of the time. Only one day the 'why' arises, and everything starts over in a weariness coloured by surprise. 'Beginning' is important. Lassitude comes at the end of the acts of a mechanical life, but at the same time it sets consciousness in motion. It wakes it up and is responsible for what follows, whether it be an unconscious return or a definitive awakening."
