About this Quote

Albert Camus is suggesting that searching for joy and also the significance of life is useless.

Likewise, if you are looking for the significance of life, you will never ever truly live. He is recommending that as opposed to looking for these points, we ought to concentrate on living in the here and now moment and appreciating what we have. We must aim to find delight in the tiny things as well as be content with our lives. Camus is motivating us to take life as it comes and also to maximize it. He is recommending that if we focus on living in the moment, we will certainly locate happiness and gratification.
