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."

In summation you are responsible for your own actions and no one else's. You can live your life fully like the 1st half of The Outsider or Stranger or you can spend it locked up imprisoned in your own mind contemplating why you do what you do or did what you did.

To quote the great philosopher Whedon:
"Life's not a song.
Life isn't bliss.
Life is just this.
It's living."

dry, but interesting.

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"

So we're insignificant. So what? So what if there's no inherent meaning to life? We give our life meaning.
