As an absurdist, Hap doesn't believe in life after death. Without a grand plan or greater purpose, he strives to live in the moment relishing his one short lifetime as an expression of the conscious universe.
Camus wrote in The Nuptials of a consciousness reveling in the world, a body delighting in nature, and the individual’s immersion in sheer physicality. Years before, Whitman wrote of the same sensuality, joy, and awareness of our place in this world.
Those two giants married literary and philosophical thought like few have.
It may see arrogant to aspire to the heights of Camus and Whitman, but I ask a simple question: If there is no grand purpose driving us within this universe, then why not me? Why not you?
