The Myth of Sisyphus

this man is so dramatic i love it tho

“This world has a higher meaning that transcends its worries, or nothing is true but those worries.”

Not a full review but I just wanted to talk about this sentence that really stuck with me. I guess because it's a little scary. I am agnostic (or an atheist since people don't like the label of agnostic), so to believe in a higher power/meaning doesn't come as naturally or comfortably to me. At the same time, the alternative, that my worries are the most real thing in the world, is frightening and somewhat disheartening.

I definitely don't believe this sentence to be the ultimate axiom of life but I do believe that there's some truth to it. so the question holds: do I want my worries to be real and indispensable, or do I want to believe that there's a meaning far greater?

Such an enchanting way of expressing ideas and a deeply interesting read from a philosophical perspective. Camus tackles the existential question from quite a dramatic but cohesive form.
