Philosophers and artists are similar; they both express their experiences, they both live in and with their creations, they both commit themselves to their work in face of the absurd. The distance between the rules one sets themselves for understanding and loving is nonexistent. Passion to make absurd art is derived from refusing unity, conscious of lucidity, but also ushers an understanding of arts insignificance

Expression and behaviors follow one’s thoughts on the world. Art is a mirror in that way. There is education here for a lucid mind, helping experience quantity of existence.

“Creating or not creating changes nothing”pg97-8. Art isn’t a cure to the absurd, but there seems to be a passion for it. Difference between art that explains the world and absurd art that describes experiences. Absurd art shows its indifferent value and no more than appearances and covers of an intelligence. “If the world were clear, art would not exist”pg98

The delight, absurd passion, we feel when seeing and describing the world’s aspects comes not from its depths, but its diversity. Creation can show how others see the world’s aspects, adding to the diversity of.

Motivation for someone can be simply following the perceived order of the world. If lucid, motivation seems to drive towards quantity of experience, therefore creation evokes of great joy. Creation mimics experience. Describing, exaggerating, repeating, and recreating one’s experience. Creation isn’t the cure to the absurd, but motivation for is a result, one that shows the blind path each of us find ourselves on

Many different absurd styles of life, posing no moral codes and including no judgements. Even monarchs and civil servants can be lucid. As long as one lives with what they have without speculating on what he doesn’t.

Those who live with eternity oppose those with lucidity. The eternals seemingly fearful of death. The lucid find strength and justification from death. Not out of pride, but out of sight of our affliction with irrelevancy.

A lucid conqueror conscious of their strength, lives to the height of that strength (living quantitfully) and the amazement that the human mind feels. Intelligence is sight of a human and their silence, revealing the value of human relations and the power/limitations their minds possess. Time is limited to death and this constitutes freedom.

The conqueror can have an absurd fate. Their focus to individuals, society, and time. With no eternal appeal, no victory, they claim a lost cause, ending with death, but striving regardless for victory, maybe achieving ephemeral victories. Choosing history, not eternity, as it feels more certain. The individual can do nothing but everything, the world crushes, leaders liberate one into action if lucidity is held

The actor has an absurd fate. If lucid, the limit of death seems to drive a passion of quantity, which is available to the actor. The varied lives portrayed via appearance carrying their own truths and struggle with the absurd. Living those characters consciously, not turning away from oneself or contradiction, but using the opportunity to expand one’s quantity, while seemingly carrying some part of roles played.

Camus writes of Don Juan, how the legend seems of an absurd attitude and responds to typical views of Juan. Not having a belief in “eternal LOVE” (whose conception is formed by common depiction) but the phenomenon of what he feels. Juan loves different, a way that recognizes the entity of his conscience and doesn’t glorify LOVE (lesses everything else) but instead feasts on the focus of love’s spot light.
