I Am Not Sure One Is Capable Of Reflecting Absurdity Without Having A Strong Sense Of Meaning. Absurdity Makes Sense Only Against A Meaningful Background. It Is The Deeper Meaning That Is Shedding Light On The Absurdity. There Must Be A Vanish Point, A Metaphysical Horizon If You Will Where Absurdity And Meaning Merge.
