How would You Cheer Up Sartre? 1 Year, 12 Months ago
Karma: 0
Poor Sartre:
"Everything is gratuitous, this garden,
this city and myself. When you suddenly
realize it, it makes you feel sick and
everything begins to drift...that's nausea."
God never shows up after warning the kids,
Sartre notices, and most people leave a path
that is erased quickly after they are gone.
What difference does anything you do make?
Not exactly a fun guy to go pubbing with...
unless you're touring the goth bars.
What sort of pep-talk would you give to Sartre?
I might tell him the Zen story about the
monk and the tiger:
---the monk is chased by a tiger to a steep bluff
---he is slipping over the edge, and grabs a plant
---the plant's roots start pulling out
surely he is going to die
---he notices a ripe strawberry on it, picks it
with his free hand, and says "....mmm, delicious!"

I would say "not everyone feels that way. Maybe you shouldn't have tried acid."
