		<description><![CDATA[Freshly off a sweltering, barely-running bus, I’m poised at the entrance to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, or as it’s known to most visitors, S21. This was a former schoolhouse turned torture prison from 1975-79 during the Khmer Rouge’s notoriously brutal, merciless, yet hasty, reign of Cambodia.

		<description><![CDATA[absurdity is one of the most human things about us; a manifestation of our most advanced and interesting characteristics. It is only possible because we possess a certain kind of insight- the capacity to transcend ourselves in thought.

It results from the ability to understand our human limitations. It need not be a matter for agony, not need it evoke a defiant contempt of fate that allows us to feel brave or proud.

If there is no reason to believe that anything matters, then that does not matter either, and we can approach our absurd lives with irony instead of heroism and despair.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=robnightingale.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13857901&amp;post=246&amp;subd=robnightingale&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
