Everything that exists, from consciousness to the digestive workings of the human body to sound waves and bladeless fans, is magnificently unlikely. It seems so much likelier that things would not exist at all and yet the world shows up to class every morning as the cosmos takes attendance. Why combat the unlikeliness? This is the way to survive in this world, to wake up in the morning and receive a cancer diagnosis, discover that a man has murdered forty children, discover that the milk has gone sour, and exclaim, “How unlikely! Yet here we are,” and have a laugh, and swim in the chaos, swim without fear, swim without expectation but always with an appreciation of every whim, the beauty of screwball twists and jerks that pump blood through our emaciated veins.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jaroslav Kalfar" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jaroslav-kalfar/the-second-mechanism-is-an-across-the-board-acceptance-of-the-absurd/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cfe/jaroslav-kalfar-53096_cancer-diagnosis_the-second-mechanism-is-an-across-the-bo_941726.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cfe/jaroslav-kalfar-53096_cancer-diagnosis_the-second-mechanism-is-an-across-the-bo_941726.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cfe/jaroslav-kalfar-53096_cancer-diagnosis_the-second-mechanism-is-an-across-the-bo_941726.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The second mechanism is an across-the-board acceptance of the absurd all around us.

It began with hesitance, a creature feeling its way around a new environment. After a few minutes, the scratching gained a rhythm - shka shka shkashka shka shka - the rhythm of work that some small rodent figured would bring it to freedom. Consistency. Work without interruption, work with intensity. Surely, working at a steady pace, without breaks, the creature could reach its goal. I listened to my companion, refusing to take away its dignity by opening the vent. It took twenty minutes for the rhythm to reach its climax - shkakakakashkakakakashkakakaka, now with true desperation, as the rodent beat at the world to convince it of its worth, not a plea but a demand: Hear me! Let me out! I am here! I decided it was time for relief for the both of us, and when I stood up I saw a small brown nose peeking through the bars, two black eyes fixed on mine. I unscrewed the cover with a coin. When I opened it, a small tail was peeking from a dark corner deep in the shaft. It was hiding from me. It would not be rescued. I tried to reach the tail without any luck. I sat on my bed with the vent uncovered for an hour, waiting for my new fried to come out. It didn't. I put the cover back on, and while I was fastening the last screw, the nose appeared again, followed by the laborious scratching. Work will save me. Diligent, patient, never-ending. It must. I put a coat on and walked outside.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jaroslav Kalfar" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jaroslav-kalfar/back-in-my-room-i-woke-to-a-strange-scratching-coming-from-the-air/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f7d/jaroslav-kalfar-53096_black-eyes_back-in-my-room-i-woke-to-a-strange-scra_2946091.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f7d/jaroslav-kalfar-53096_black-eyes_back-in-my-room-i-woke-to-a-strange-scra_2946091.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f7d/jaroslav-kalfar-53096_black-eyes_back-in-my-room-i-woke-to-a-strange-scra_2946091.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Back in my room, I woke to a strange scratching coming from the air-conditioning vent.
