Life is Absurd. How to Live it? | ALBERT CAMUS

Life is not absurd and there can be certain reasons how your life should be. This is easily observed and inferred from watching the birds and squirrels and trees and plants go about doing bird, squirrel, tree, plant things in your back yard all the time each and every day...

Thank you for this!❤

Shakespeare said it before Camus: To be or not to be ... the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune ... Life is a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing. Before Shakespeare the Ancient Greeks had something to say too.

Trying to find meaning in life is like trying to find the last digit of pi

If life is absurd, then it it not possible to live it in an organized, systematic, purpose directed manner. To prescribe a way to live life in a universe you proclaim to be absurd is a violation of your basic functional premise.

He was on the right track- he could see answering existential questions with manmade beliefs wasn't right. Wish he had got there and found the divine revelation sent to humanity.

Hold the motherfuckin fort

I appreciate his contribution to the art of knife fighting.

Camus was a mad man.

Camus is what happens when you think just a littke more about it than Kierkegaard… Kierkegaard’s conclusion is “ah screw it! Just close your eyes and get on with it!” Camus’s conclusion is: “Ah screw it! Just OPEN your eyes and get on with it!”
Camus gives you hope to actually find something real and worthwhile even if you might never. Kierkegaard gives you a way to survive, but not live for real. IMO.

I can agree with some of it.

I attained peace once i found out in a documentary that out planet has experienced five previous mass extinction events, the last one occurring 65.5 million years ago.

It is a natural process so why take it seriously

Actually the Universe may be withou meaning, or beyond what we can apprehended just now as stated in the video. But it does not mean that human life can`t have a meaning. You can find your own meaning, be it with your relatives, community, or playing a role where you bring more expansion and growth for our species and beyond.

Be free from desire

Today I chose coffee and I'll every day

Keep pushing your boulder!

Basically hes saying we live in a simulation

YSK!
Chromecast is FORBIDDING us from watching your show on the big screen. Fine on the cell but we we both my wife and I on different cells, it says it contains info on suic ide and and asked for a yes permission button on the vkoddy tv but they also removed the remote built in the app😅😂🤔😬
Pretty psychotic surreptitious casual actions being done now. I got babbled on FB just today for some basic satire stuff I've posted way worse before.
FYI.
You're being sensored.

Cathloics: God has a plan

Camus: PARRY THIS CASUALS

But is Sisyphus really happy! 🥹

Thank you

This video is plagiarised from some articles, word for word.
Mainly from “Philosophical Suicide” by Sarrthi S.
Also containing “Do I dare disturb the universe?” by Mekhela Ahuja.
May be more, both of these examples are on Medium.

Do your own fucking research and don’t lift others’ words uncredited.

Thanks!

much to think about

This guy said everything that is in my head

What’s funny is that a bunch of people ‘follow’ this line of thought like they would a religion, proving Camus’s idea. If you’re an ‘absurdist’, you’re just as foolish as a Christian, Jew, Muslim, etc.

What a phenomenal free thinker and a philosopher 😮

Who was the Buddhist monk that walked around for a while with a dead dog tied to his waist

Bruh you completely misinterpreted him

When we start to think about the meaning of live,we just find that life is meaningful.And there should be no certain meaning to live.When you really realize it,you'll feel free.

nice video

The fact of someone flagging this video as potentially dangerous explains perfectly the stupidity of our age.

I really liked this video.

I'm not convinced by the idea of life not having a meaning. It just doesn't fit somewhere and feels like the lazy option... "Oh we couldn't find the meaning of life? There must be no meaning to life at all..."

Speachless!One of my favourite videos! it was like somebody put together all my unexpressed thoughts and questions in a dense and right order.I will definitely read Camus.

The search for happiness is absurd. For that which is all about us is not available to those that desperately seek it. Happiness is quantized and momentary.... not as Camus has said.... absurd.

The more we understand the Universe the more pointless it seems. In this there is the very meaning of existence and the wonder of death.

That final phrase : “is there anything more rebellious in than actually feel joy in what’s supposed to be our punishment?”

I really like Camus POV. Fighting the Absurd… Just trying to live the moment, not worrying tomorrow one will have to do the same thing or something else. Certainly not easy

What is the point of spread good to the world if the evil will always win?
The good will suffer, and he'll see the bad winning...

A vida não tem sentido, de um a ela

I cant explain how much i needed this video. Thank you

Anyone know the outro song?

Work will set you free.

Life is absurd.
We cannot know if the universe has a meaning.
And if it does, we cannot know it.
Faced with this awareness, we can only decide whether to accept the absurdity of everything or not.

In the second option, there are two possibilities:
physical suicide, caused by succumbing to the absurdity, which is stronger than we can accept, or philosophical and mental suicide, where we simply stop being rational and, to endure the meaninglessness of life, we embrace a system created by humans that can answer all the questions that may arise, be it a culture, a belief, a religion, an ideology; we take a leap of faith, like Kierkegaard, and live our entire lives denying the absence of meaning, instead believing in some man-made beliefs.

As Camus says, it's not necessary to succumb to absurdity.
The fact that we don't know the meaning of our lives, that we don't have certainty that there is one, allows us to truly live it as we want.

Knowing that nothing makes sense allows us to spontaneously appreciate and feel anything without having to seek beauty and happiness even in something self-imposed. Indeed, while it's normal to set goals, we shouldn't make our happiness dependent on them: Sisyphus will never be happy if he bases his happiness on getting the boulder to the top of the hill.

You change, and similarly, people and the world around you change; however, if you don't attach yourself to an idea of past happiness, to something you consider indispensable for happiness, like the dream of a perfect marriage or a well-paying job, you will be able to live in any situation. We must refuse to place our happiness in hope for the future or nostalgia for the past but simply enjoy and have a clear experience of the present; after all, if life has no meaning, what can you do except live it? By "live it," I mean experiencing sensations, whatever they may be, breathing and seeing a landscape, stressing about studies, being sad about a love disappointment, being happy about someone else's success.

That’s a synthesis of what I learned from the video and what I always thought
What do you think about it?

I never knew of anything about Camus before coming across this video and I’m surprised at how much of what he said I had already come to the conclusion of.

Life is meaningfully worthless

I hear what he’s saying and I agree his view can be a good way of not being controlled with life’s curve balls and even unthinkable tragedy but saying that everything is completely random is saying we aren’t the creators of our reality and yet we are
We create life’s “randomness” out of our internal conflicts
We are eternal beings
Hear the song of your soul and let it guide you
There’s a lot of moving parts and I believe we shouldn’t take life so seriously .. it is not random
We the people as a civilization are waking up & we have the power to come together and create the change we’ve all been dying for
