Quote by Albert Camus

Life is absurd

Life is absurd

Summary

This quote expresses the belief that life lacks inherent meaning or logical explanation. It argues that the world and human existence are unpredictable, contradictory, and chaotic, making it difficult to find a clear purpose or rational understanding of life. The absurdity of life suggests that it is futile to search for ultimate meaning, encouraging individuals to embrace the uncertainty and absurdity of their existence, and to create their own meaning through personal choices and experiences.
