Absurdism
Life is The Myth of Sisyphus according to Albert Camus. I need to read it. Finally someone rooted in existentialism without being an existentialist.
Stealing from Wikipedia:
For Camus, the beauty that people encounter in life makes it worth living. People may create meaning in their own lives, which may not be the objective meaning of life, but still provides something to strive for. However, he insisted that one must always maintain an ironic distance between this invented meaning and the knowledge of the absurd lest the fictitious meaning takes the place of the absurd.
Perhaps mixed with a Soft Paternalistic legal/moral view and I start to reach other indivduals' thoughts that are near my own.
With such complicated things... I understand why I always had a hard time explaining how I viewed the world to kids back in middle school and high school.
