The pathos of Albert Camus rail ticket.
Albert Camus believed that the world is meaningless yet we are constantly seeking meaning. He also believed that there is a banality to our routiine existence.. He was killed while in s powerful sports car driven by his editior on the way to Paris.. In his back pocket was found an unused rail ticket for the trip to Paris. If only he had used the rail ticket but then Camus also believed we are 'condemned to be free.'
Is Camus' death not a striking example of the banality of our existence?
I come away from this tale thinking, if there anything that is metaphsycial then it can only be a metaphysical injustice.
My advice is be happy, enjoy the moment.
Camus was awarded the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature "for his important literary production, which with clear-sighted earnestness illuminates the problems of the human conscience in our times".[He was the second-youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, after Rudyard Kipling, and the first African-born writer to receive the award.He is the shortest-lived of any Nobel literature laureate to date, having died in an automobile accident just over two years after receiving the award.
