Existentialism and The absurd?
I read the novel 'The Stranger' by Albert Camus, and it was a great introduction to the basics of existentialism. The idea of creating your own individualistic meaning to humanity is much more appealing to me than the suggested ordinary expectations of society on how the general public spends their limited time on earth.

There is nothing in the world more helpess and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge....\"[/SIZE]
