Quote by Albert Camus

The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable.


The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate onl

Summary

This quote suggests that the human heart often tends to view unhappy or challenging events as fated or predetermined, while happiness is seen as spontaneous and unpredictable. It implies that humans have a tendency to attribute negative experiences to a higher power or external circumstances, seeing them as inevitable. On the other hand, happiness is perceived as happening without any specific reason or logic behind it, as it can unexpectedly emerge in our lives. The quote likely stems from the observation that people often struggle to understand why they experience burdensome situations but rarely question the origin of their moments of joy.
