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."

This is a prime example for talks.
Oops, still getting used your new channel.
"Life's not a song.
Life isn't bliss.
Life is just this.
It's living."
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"
