I cant be a monk yet. But maybe someday ill make the leap.
To achieve selflessness is just about as impossible as living in this world under your own terms. Society has us fucking hogtied to obey a certain code of social conduct. As for selfessness, imagine the last selfless deed you have done. I know I can't. I consider myself to be a pretty giving person but, even if its a good feeling derived from a good deed, your benifiting.

thanks for the reply, I wasn't sure if anyone would
jackforest Reviewed by jackforest on . 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.
