7/2/2023 0 Comments The myth of sisyphus meaning![]() We also want to understand why bad things happen to good people, why good things happen to bad people, why we’re here, where we’re going, and what it all means.Ĭoncerning how things actually are, however, evil goes unpunished, good deeds often are not rewarded, good things happen to bad people, bad things happen to good people, and we don’t understand any of it. This though is not what Camus means by “absurd.” For Camus, the absurd originates from a combination of two things: the way we want the world to be and the way the world actually is.Ībout how we want the world to be, it just seems to be a part of human nature that we have a sense of justice and fairness, and so we want the world to be just and fair: we want evil punished and virtue rewarded. There are many things we might naturally call absurd: a rude joke, an outrageous statement, or the price of a pair of designer jeans. ![]()
