If Life Has No Meaning, Why Are We Still Living? | Albert Camus

If Life Has No Meaning, Why Are We Still Living? Albert Camus, the absurd, and the Myth of Sisyphus, taken all the way down, with none of the soft landing. This is the question that comes for almost everyone in the dark. If it all ends in nothing, why keep going at all. Camus refused to look away from it, and what he found on the other side is stranger, and far more useful, than the comfortable answers everyone tries to hand you. We go through the absurd, philosophical suicide, the three exits that are really surrenders, revolt, freedom, and why Sisyphus is not happy. He is unbeaten. Which is the harder and the truer thing. This is not positive thinking. It is the opposite of positive thinking. If you are in genuine darkness right now, please hear this. Philosophy is not a substitute for a person. There are people whose whole job is to sit with you in it, and reaching one is not weakness, it is sense. The idea will still be here after.
