Albert Camus

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy."

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?

In homage to great philosophers or the east:

Why do you ask why I posted that?

Because it makes me think you're in agreeance that suicide is a question, something you have to put a lot of thought into to decide whether or not to do it....that's slightly troublesome to me.

Ah.

Well, think no further than Scooter.

On the other hand, this is something to think about more carefully!

"You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life."
