LIFE IS ABSURD

ALL ROADS LEAD TO DEATH

HOW DOES ONE LIVE

A GOOD LIFE?


The pandemic rages on, but the world has changed the channel. Society has inoculated the working class: by normalizing dying of COVID. Millions develop long-lasting neurological damage and disabilities, and immune systems battered by SARSCOV2 are now hosting opportunistic infections that keep healthcare systems beleaguered and overwhelmed. To put it very simply: the young party and the old die.


In China, Zero COVID has maintained strict lockdowns and quarantine procedures for years, but as the variants mutate to become more and more infectious, the lockdowns grow longer and more tedious. Something has got to give. And one night, with little warning, it does, leaving many to wonder

WHAT IS THE POINT OF ANY OF IT?

IS THERE MEANING TO THE ABSURDITY OF EXISTENCE?

WHY AM I HERE, ANYWAY?

and many other serious questions. In his third year of pandemic jail, Jorah Kai ponders the absurdity of this thing called life, mortality, legacy, and the search for meaning and purpose.


"He wishes he were a skilled poet, it would fit his chosen image perfectly; the poor, tragic, tortured artiste. But he has no talent for words, neither for paints nor music; his uselessness is tremendously total." ― Curtis Ackie, Goldfish Tears


"But perhaps the great work of art has less importance in itself than in the ordeal it demands of a man and the opportunity it provides him of overcoming his phantoms and approaching a little closer to his naked reality." ― Albert Camus


"Life belongs to those who can somehow make a sick joke out of it all." - Sylvester Stallone

Tietoja kirjoittajasta

Someone once told Jorah Kai to write what he knew, but since he was 12 and knew very little, the avid reader set off on a lifelong journey to master a variety of esoteric subjects. He’s been a lifelong student, martial artist, musician, English teacher, writer, newspaper columnist, editor, web designer, dance music producer and touring DJ, black rock city existential detective and philosopher, fire-breathing gypsy circus performer, standup comedian, and family man, all of which offered many profound insights into the human condition. He now lives in the solarpunk capitol of Asia, Chongqing.

Kai enjoys conversing in foreign languages because it’s more mysterious, and he enjoys playing guitar and eating pizza. He has lived at the confluence of two mighty rivers, the Yangtze and the Jialing, with a large and loving family for many years as a human being and forever after as the most immortal of all supernatural beasts, a writer.
