Since the Creation, many philosophical movement search for this Big Question.
What is the meaning of Life? of being, exsisting, living.
What is the purpose of Life?
What is to be a Human?
i Love the Quote from Alan Watts:
"There is no such things Light without eyes to see it. No such thing Sound without ears to hear it and no such thing as organism without environment. The Environment creates the organism just as the organism creates the envirement. Existence is in RELATIONSHIPS, there is no such things in universe which stands Alone."
So which kind of envirement you want to creat to live, existe and be joyful.
Thats also interconnected with which eyes you are looking to the universe and your surrunding.
Everything is Happening in you and around you by just You being YOU.
Can you control your breath? it is just happening. Life is happening. Each moment of Life is different and unique.
On 20th century in France, after the second world war there was a Movement of " L'homme en proces" started by
Jean Paul Sartre, Malraux, Saint Exupery and Simone de Beauvoir.
The Freedom of expression and creativity, art and authenticity started to bloom and much more.
Simone de Beauvoir wrote the book "deuxieme sex" and she mentioned there " “On ne naît pas femme, on le devient”, (One is not born a woman, one becomes one.) She was defending the idea that femininity is not something women are born with, but something society trains them into and that women can break free from these imposed roles. and thats how feminism started as a reaction.Beauvoir was defending the idea that “woman” is not a natural destiny but a social and cultural construction and the biological programming.
Jean PAul Sartre and S. Beauvoir they both started to movement of Existensialism.
Jean Paul sartre and Albert Camus had different points of view on the movement after their best days.
IS ART for SELF or for PEOPLE?
If art is only for self, it risks irrelevance., If art is only for people, it risks propaganda. Most great arts lives in the tension between the two: personal truth that resonates collectively.
A.Camus wrote on The Myth of Sisyphus : Sisyphus is condemned to push a boulder up a mountain, only for it to roll back down, endlessly.His job is meaningless, but Camus imagines him as free once he accepts the futility and embraces his task. As a result “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.” haha..:) and Jean paul Sartre: He acknowledged absurdity but moved past it; for him, the deeper issue is what we do with our freedom.
Absurdity is a starting point, but responsibility and choices is a springboard that prepares the ground for more spiritual activities.
