As a philosophy, absurdism furthermore explores the fundamental nature of the Absurd and how individuals, once becoming conscious of the Absurd, should respond to it. The absurdist philosopher Albert Camus stated that individuals should embrace the absurd condition of human existence.
Absurdism shares some concepts, and a common theoretical template, with existentialism and nihilism. It has its origins in the work of the 19th-century Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, who chose to confront the crisis that humans face with the Absurd by developing his own existentialist philosophy.

The myth of SISYPHUS illustrates a man destined to forever push a huge boulder up to the top of a hill only to have it roll back down and once it does, he repeats the process.
So, does life has meaning?
OR,
Does life have no meaning?
The religious people believe and perceive that life does have meaning and this meaning is addressed each day by serving God and in so doing one will find a place set aside in Heaven after death... an everlasting life in Heaven with God and Jesus and the Holy Ghost.
But, what about all those people in the world, males, females, and children who have never been exposed to God and therefore cannot make the decision to serve Him, do they not have a place in Heaven?
Since they do not know God, they might perceive life as meaningless...
And, speaking of meaningless...
mankind is born and lives about 80 +/- doing whatever it is that s/he needs to do and then DIES... and, spends ALL OF ETERNITY in a state of being dead.
Isn't 80 years rather pointless when compared to FOREVER?
WHY WOULD GOD GIVE US LIFE FOR 80 YEARS AND THEN EITHER TAKES US TO HEAVEN OR NOT TAKE US... DEPENDING UPON WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE SERVED HIM...
Many of us simply do not want to think about it...
