The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning — in other words, of absurdity — the more energetically meaning is sought. - Václav Havel

Without the constantly living and articulated experience of absurdity, there would be no reason to attempt to do something meaningful. And on the contrary, how can one experience one's own absurdity if one is not constantly seeking meaning?

Člověk by se měl chovat tak, jak si myslí, že by se měli chovat všichni.

It's not hard to stand behind one's successes. But to accept responsibility for one's failures... that is devishly hard! But only thence does the road lead... to a radically new insight into the mysterious gravity of my existence as an uncertain enterprise and to its transcendental meaning.
