Answer 7

Chaos (derived from the Greek Χάος, Chaos) typically refers to unpredictability, and is the antithetical concept of cosmos. The word χάος did not mean "disorder" in classical-period ancient Greece. It meant "the primal emptiness, space" (see Chaos (mythology)). Chaos is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root ghn or ghen meaning "gape, be wide open": compare "chasm" (from Greek χάσμα), and Anglo-Saxon gānian ("yawn"), geanian, ginian ("gape wide"); see also Old Norse Ginnungagap. Due to people misunderstanding early Christian uses of the word, the meaning of the word changed to "disorder". (The Ancient Greek for "disorder" is ταραχή.).

Answer 9

Absurdism is the belief that all things are pointless, random, and chance. As we see modern artists portray in their paintings, all things are chaotic and meaningless. Chaos is another name for Absurdism, and another way of saying that we have no meaning and are mere products of luck and chance. This view is linked to Darwinism, which states that we are, basically, animals with a flare, that it is survival of the fittest, eat or be eaten, and that such things as love, compassion, mercy, and submission are only weaknesses that will soon get you killed.

The real core truth to this philosophy, is that there is no god, and that man is on his own, not to live, but to survive. These people, such as atheists, think they are in search of freedom, but only find a different form of slavery: worship of themselves. Man is never his own master.

I believe there is a God, and that he designed all things to His greater purpose. I have the hope that there is meaning in life, and life after death, but what do Absurdists have to hold on to? The answer is, quite simply, themselves.
