Hello! I always love to see philosophy in praxis. So, kudos, nice post. I find whenever I read Albert Camus it helps ease and fix a lot of maladies that result out trying to make sense of the world, my relationships and life in general.
“My dear,
In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.
Truly yours,
Albert Camus”
Happy steeming!
I'm a big Camus fan as I mentioned in one of my previous philosophy posts. Thanks for the quote @kobiespriggs - I hope it can bring comfort to others just like it did to me :)
Here is a link to an amazing speech. It was recently the 70th anniversary of Camus's speech he did in the United States during his one and only visit. It is read in English by Viggo Mortenson. If you have the time it is worth a listen. If you want to skip the formalities Viggo starts reading around the 13 minute mark. Enjoy it is beautiful.
I love Viggo! This is so cool! This is so cool! Thank you. Thank you :))
No worries. Sharing is caring. Let me know what you think. I write from an existentialist perspective and it informs many of thoughts. It gives me hope and perhaps by sharing it, it can give others hope too. Sort of like Prometheus and his gift of fire. We must "rage against the dying of the light" after all....and in doing so "we must imagine Sisyphus happy", right? Have a great day.
I loved the video :) Sisyphus is happy of the @mindhunter :))
