      ABSURDE

      Useful brief summary.

      1. contrary to reason

      2. devoid of proper sense

      3. absence of meaning of life

      In China, the notion of something being contrary to reason is common enough.

      The notion of meaninglessness of an expression is not old.

      The notion of the absence of a meaning of life, as elaborated by Albert Camus, is not elaborated in ancient China.
