Contrasting human mortality with divine dramas depicted in works like the Iliad and the Odyssey, it is highlighted that human connection and value stem from mortality. Although mortality is tragic, it gives depth and meaning to human existence. The ability to acknowledge the seriousness of life while recognizing its ultimate insignificance is described as ironic and an interesting facet of human condition. This perspective differs from existentialist concerns about the absurdity of life leading to despair or suicide, suggesting that accepting the absurdity can be a more constructive approach.
