Albert Camus and the problem of absurdity

A bit of Camus never hurts! From the absurdity of life to the meaningless life, Camus asked this question: is life worth living? Therefore is suicide legitimate?

Like Sisyphus, we repeat actions daily believing this is apart of an order or a way to pur happiness whereas life itself has no meaning, no sense, no aim. In the Stranger, my favourite of his books, the narrator kills a man only because there was too much sunlight. Irony of life, Camus died in a car accident, as absurd as life could get, exactly how he defined it in his works. This article below pays tribute to the French icon that he was and it is worth reading and enjoying!
