Sunday Scribblings - Absurd
“Hello there!
I seem to be constantly apologizing to you all. I am sorry that the prompt is late this week! As I joined as a Gold Mr. Linky member today, I actually said out loud how absurd it was that all of this has happened at the same time. So in honour of what is now a sorted-out and back-on-track Sunday Scribblings, the prompt for this week is: Absurd!
Thank you so much for your continued patience!! I promise the prompt will be up before Sunday next week and links will be in place. (Clearly we were just checking to see that you were all paying attention!)
Happy Scribbling!!”
To be completely honest, I think this is the first Sunday Scribblings prompt to completely stump me. Absurd? Is there anything in my life truly absurd?
When in doubt, start with the definition:
*inconsistent with reason or logic or common sense
*a situation in which life seems irrational and meaningless
*incongruous;inviting ridicule
I hope this isn’t taking the easy way out, but I find the very fact that I’m having trouble with this prompt to be absurd (in the first meaning of the word). I’m a writer, for goodness sake. Published. Surely I can write something on ‘absurd’.
I guess, though, that it only fits with my personality that I should have trouble with this prompt, looking at it from the second meaning of the word. I’m not one to believe in coincidence. I’m not one to believe that anything in life is meaningless.
Sure, a lot of things piss me off and I wonder why they happened, but I don’t consider them meaningless.
As for the third meaning, I’m not one to ridicule; at least, I try not to. I always endeavor to try to understand people rather than judge them or make fun of them. And my life is hardly a thing of absurdity, so I’m lost of a topic on that account.
So I guess I just don’t have much to say on absurd…
