Abstract: Absurd living exists in the irrational and delusional beliefs of man. Life is worth and meaningful to anyone who attaches obligation through chastity and virtue rather than wickedness and ambition. Every individual can be a victim of sentiments. This paper investigates the basis of moral thoughts, origin of morals, impact to people, and how individuals transform themselves to affirm the present condition that shows absurdity. Finally, the present moral intervention in such community is found severe and irrational. Hence, the investigation falls on the conclusion that the present moral thought confined individuals from delusional ressentiment to become victims of sentiments. Morality then is the foundation of virtue and harmony of living, not a path of wickedness that will lead to chaos, drastic destruction and absurdity.

Keywords: absurdity, community, delusional, Filipino, morality, ressentiment, transformation, will.
