If it were sufficient to love, things would be too easy. The more one loves, the more the absurd grows.

I want to know whether I can live with what I know and with that alone. I am told again that intelligence must sacrifice its pride and the reason bow down. But if I recognize the limits of the reason, I do not therefore negate it recognizing its relative powers. I merely want to remain in this middle path where the intelligence can remain clear.
Albert Camus, “The Myth of Sisyphus”

I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of all questions.
