Hakuna Matata sec19 Group 3 CAMUS
WE didnt have any time to really discuss Camus with all the presentations but for just a quick overview here is a summary of our reading on Camus: He believed that life was completely meaningless, but that it was still preferable over suicide. They called this existentialism and eventually it turned into a form of cult that just sat around talking about how meaningless life is. Camus compared our meaningless life to Sisyphus who was punished by having to roll a boulder up a mtn just for it to fall back down and do it all over again.

Camus was an interesting guy wish some interesting beliefs. The ideas of existentialism sort of remind me of hippies.
