Feckin' Camus

Existentialism is a tough one to wrap your head around I find....

I've mentioned it a couple times before, but have you ever read the short story The Stranger, by Camus (sometimes called The Outsider, not to be confused with The Outsiders with Ponyboy and all that ). Camus' character Meursault goes through life feeling nothing but what he can hold...not even love. He sees no purpose or meaning, and when convicted of murder feels that life is meaningless-no purpose or point to any of it.

Personally, that sounds sad really

That quote is interesting....why are you posting it . Are you agreeing that suicide is something that is a difficult choise, or just posting the quote for arguement's sake G?
