After being freed from all the prejudices, lies and illusions,
this time I am left (challenged, attacked) with Nihilism and Absurdism And it reminds me of what Schopenhauer said: 'Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom' ( But here I am not implying "pain : boredom = illusions : Absurdism" nor "pain : boredom = Absurdism : illusions" And these are two characteristically different pendulums ) Pendulum... Is there no escape? Are humans doomed to be locked in those pendulums? between pain and boredom and between illusions and Absurdism? (and maybe other pendulums?) Life is so harsh that even philosophical realization (enlightenment) doesn't simply lead to the salvation (haven) of a soul Like in a pendulum (mechanical energy remains constant), perhaps there may be neither better nor worse position
