Presented by philosopher Robert C. Solomon (from waking life) "The Myth of Sisyphus is a philosophical theory, a vision of the absurd. Sisyphus is an example of all of us, life spent in futile quests. The absurd is born, Camus says, of our increasingly impersonal, abstract, scientific view of the world. Ultimately, only personal experience is meaningful."

In summation you are responsible for your own actions and no one else's. You can live your life fully like the 1st half of The Outsider or Stranger or you can spend it locked up imprisoned in your own mind contemplating why you do what you do or did what you did.

dry, but interesting.

I remember reading Camus' Stranger back in high school, but I think if I read it again now, I would get a lot more from it.

"ignorance is bliss"
"it is not the destination, but the journey that matters"
"you think too much"

<sexy voice> Would you remove my body?

<confused introspection wondering what I just said>

<outward commitment to original ambiguous statement to avoid perceived social stigma>

<ponderance of self-reflective statements in the comments of a long-dead philosophical video>

Let me know if you need someone to remove the body. It's what I do.

BSRsays...

The "sexy voice"would be an indication that your body removal would be premature in my opinion. Give me a call when you expire and I'll see what I can do for you

It’s just gas escaping. Carry on.
