The universe is irrational.  It has no explanation.  We, as humans,
try to impose our rationality on that irrational, unfeeling, uncaring
universe.  We can't do it of course, but we persevere.  That's absurd.
 It's our constant struggle with that absurdity that defines us as
humans, that describes the human condition.

Does that help?

ps:  I may have borrowed bits and pieces of Camus in the above.  More
than likely, I got it mostly wrong...  <vbg>
