Albert Camus is by far my most treasured philosopher whose philosophy digs into the complexities of life. Camus, himself coming from the background of poverty explains the elements of his writings that grows into the argument of humans constantly searching for meaning except the world indifferent to their existence. Mostly he suggested to accept the absurdity of life and the rebellion and acceptance that comes with it eventually. As an individual I have always found his works resonating. Despite his proposal of the concept that life is meaningless, he has a kind of optimistic approach to it. The true nature of absurdity lies deeper within an individual and that is commencing the absurdity of life to gain credibility. What I find most interesting in his works is that it neither grasps the virtues of existentialism nor does it gives in to the abyss of nihilism. Upheavals of life might not always do poetic justice to certain situations but what lies deeper is the way we respond to it.
