An Absurd Experience

I was at the park, during evening time. The lights were on, people roaming around, kids playing, some buying food and drinks from the snack shop.

There was this one guy, who was playing music on his speaker, while dancing to earn money. All of a sudden, the electricity went out. Lights were off, and the park was in darkness. However, despite the situation, the guy didn’t stop his music. He continued dancing, aware that people could hardly see him at all. Not only that, but he encouraged others to dance next to him. Moments went by, an hour passed, and finally they brought back the electricity. People began applauding, and cheered for him.

Today, the dancer represented the Absurd man. Dancing in front of people, while not being seen, is a futile and pointless act to pursue. Yet, he accepted the situation, and thus became the master of his fate. He revolted, and joyfully danced in spite of it all.
