Quote by Vaclav Havel
The deeper the experience of an absence of meaning - in other words, of absurdity - the more energetically meaning is sought.
Summary
This quote suggests that when people encounter situations or experiences that seem meaningless or absurd, they are even more determined to seek out and find meaning in their lives. Instead of resigning themselves to a sense of hopelessness or existential despair, individuals are driven to actively search for and create meaning, as if the absence of meaning itself fuels their pursuit. It highlights the intrinsic human desire to seek purpose and make sense of the world, particularly in the face of circumstances that appear devoid of meaning.
