Actually, yes.

I try to see the absurdity of human existance for what it is, and then to defy it by trying to live a life that is still both fun and guided by moral principles.

This contradiction is hard to swallow for some people, so I'm usually not trying to hawk the absurdity part around, but afaik I've at least contributed to one person not going for a 2nd suicide attempt by helping her to accept that life might be absurd but is still worth living.

However, I consider this a major personal investment, which is why don't want to do this on a more or less professional basis.
My utmost respect to anyone who does, though!
