I’m 33 and can get married to almost any girl of my choosing desu. But I can’t make sense of anything. How can I start a family if I’m not sure if life is worth living yet?

then don't brush your teeth twice a day, you constrain yourself to be a gimp of expectations and wonder why you suffer

What are the best sources to learn about Absurdism? I've had back-to-back existential crises recently, which has sparked an interest in this.

Books about forcing yourself to live and take life seriously when all you've ever wanted is to die?
I just want to push a little more, try again, but finding any reason to seems harder and harder.
Fiction or nonfiction, I don't care.
Thank you

>Some make love with dozens of women; others with none. It's what's known as 'the law of the market'...Economic liberalism is an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society. Sexual liberalism is likewise an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society.

I'm a native English speaker, and though I have no interest in being a polyglot as I want depth not breadth. Would learning Latin first then French give me the most mileage? My reasoning being that French was the lingua franca before English and before that it was Latin. Giving me access to enough /lit/ for a lifetime.

This is not a troll, "hurp a durp", etc, post, this is a serious question. 4chan does not have a philosophy board, this is the closest place that this my be accepted? Mods; If it's not good here then please delete it.

During this COVID crisis I have had some extra time to think about the meaning of life.

Best summary of peoples ideas on the subject may be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meaning_of_life

Absurdism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdism)) makes the most sense to me.

Would anybody else have some thoughts on this?

Books about the Sisyphean nature of mankind's striving?

In other words, books about how to deal with the fact that something always gets you in the end?
