2026年的自由与荒诞
2 分•作者: dranimalz•3 个月前
作为一名美国公民,我为什么要在这个七月四日庆祝独立日?这是一个为正在消逝的自由和日益增长的暴政而进行的战争的结束。我曾热爱这个国家所代表的一切,当我以为它真正代表这些的时候。但现在呢?我们甚至不再免费赠送美国俱乐部会员资格了。当庄稼和土地都在燃烧时,谁还想要耕种和园林绿化工作?
我昨天想说“我爱寓言!”因为我感觉到它认识到了事情有多么糟糕,但这不过是模式匹配。因此,我们轻易放弃的自由将被剥夺,以某种方式建立起一种冷酷的理性主义。还有什么比这更荒谬的呢?
所以,在这个七月四日,我希望世界能庆祝荒诞主义。生命或许开始和结束时都充满快乐和奇迹,但对许多人来说,它是寒冷而残酷的。“喂养我的羊”被我们错误地解读为政治裙带关系和教条,而不是去爱一个人并真正地喂养他们。许多人购买我们想要的东西,在这个过程中杀害了生物和我们的环境。我们阅读关于斯多葛主义的书籍,睡在硬板床上假装理解,而没有人抢走我们的床,也没有人从中受益。所以,我们现在就是这样——事情毫无意义。

As a U.S. citizen, why should I celebrate Independence Day this July 4, the ending of a war for liberties that are fading and against a tyranny that is gaining? I loved what this country stood for when I thought it stood for it, but what now? We won’t even give America club membership away for free anymore. Who wants the farming and landscaping jobs anyway when the crops and land is burning?<p>I wanted to say “I love Fable!” yesterday because I sensed that it recognized how broken things are, but it’s no more than pattern matching, so the freedom we freely give up will be taken away to institute a cold rationalism one way or another. What could be more absurd?<p>So this July 4th, I hope that the world celebrates absurdism. Life may start and end happy and wondrous, but for many it is cold and brutal. We wrongly interpret “feed my sheep” as political cronyism and dogma instead of loving someone and actually feeding them. Many buy things we want, killing living things and our environment in the process. We read books on stoicism to sleep on a hard plank and pretend we understand, while no one takes our bed and no one benefits. So, here we are- things don’t make sense.
