One of my favorite topics to talk about is the Absurd, a specific part of the Existentialism.
The Absurd is a powerfully humbling thought in its own right. It basically states that humans have a deep longing to find answers to the hardest questions of life, but are incapable of finding the answers because of our nature as human beings. Again, it's a powerful, sobering, and humble thought... I've spent countless hours ruminating and reflecting on it... absurd thinking channels the same feelings as looking in helpless-awe at the night sky. Absurdism came to be from the depths of a person who has hit rock-bottom, one who has been hallowed and helled, on the knees in surrender, eyes flowing of rivers, wrung and devoid.
This blog comes with a caution though, because absurdity in and of itself as one's only worldview can become completely depressing, even anarchic.
There's nothing more solacing, nothing more invigorating, nothing more full of hope than answering the problem absurdity poses with the truth of Christ. It's the beautiful answer. More full than existentialism, romanticism, impermanence, transcendentalism, realism, etc... in all their applications is Christendom.
But don't take my word for it, instead allow yourself to be open to the realization, the beautiful epiphany. It's a journey worth taking, and to do your best while on this earth is only goal.
