One of the aspects of Camus' writings that stands out significantly is his interpretation of the absurd. Most people define absurdity by saying something that calls it “illogical, irrational, or ridiculous.” On the other hand, Camus defines the absurd as the tension between the search for meaning in a meaningless world. Camus believes that there are three ways to approach approaching and accepting the absurd. The three ways he promotes are suicide, the leap of faith and life without appeal. These three ways are original and inspiring, but is he right? Camus believes that the only way to live a fulfilling life is to face and accept the absurd. To achieve this two things are needed, man and the world. Man is the part of the absurd that seeks meaning while, on the contrary, the world is the meaningless part. The absurd tends to position itself halfway between man and the world. This is where the tension is and where all the problems seem to arise. The absurdity is not only within the person or the world, but both interact and create our questions. Human beings live in a world where all we do is try to search for the meaning of things. We grow up according to principles that give us the comfort that things are the way they are for a reason, until someone or something objects, such as the absurd. We have expectations of how things are and when our expectations collide and the exact opposite happens, we begin to question our morals and faith in what we believe and know. When we begin to compare our expectations with what actually happened, we begin to confront the absurd. Absurdity arises from comparison, transcends what we expect and makes it absurd. Expectations are necessary when you approach......halfway down a sheet of paper......an idea and run with it and jump. Looking for meaning outside the world won't get you far because what's out there won't satisfy what humans need, to understand the absurd. By taking the leap, you are taking the world out of absurdity and leaving man alone, which makes no sense. Life without appeal is the best way to approach the absurd only because it does not represent only man or the world, but both together. Life without appeal is living without asking questions. We choose to accept the absurd and live despite it. When we accept this, that is when we become free and reach our absolute fulfillment. Camus is right that this is the best way to deal with the absurd. It is up to us to create meaning in our lives. We must create our own meanings and try even harder to understand, approach the absurd and be free.
