This is probably a problem of how the tab characters are being set.  I
suggest the following
    1) Change all the tabs to spaces by
          C-x h
          M-x untabity
    2) Save the file in UNIX (binary) format (instead of the MS-DOS
       (CR-LF)) by
          C-x RET f binary

It's not enough to know the world is absurd and restrict yourself merely to
pointing out that fact.... It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles.
The reward is the act of struggle itself, not what you win.  Even though you
can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make the attempt.
That's morality, that's religion, that's art, that's life.
