remembering #albertcamus on his birthday.many of us have yearned for meaning in existence and yet it seems futile.well,on most days.😇😇
he wrote ,“you will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. you will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
camus suggested 4 principles to deal with meaninglessness of life.
1.focus on the small things.
2.just be yourself coz man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.
3.stop looking for happiness & meaning.
4. live with passion.
below is an excerpt from his 1957 nobel prize lecture.many of the concerns remain,still to be addressed.@EduMinOfIndia

zbigniew brzezinski ,national security adviser to jimmy carter, made prescient observations about the way technology is going to pervade every aspect of our lives and how its sociology is going to pan out in his 1970 book ,”between two ages: america's role in the technetronic era”.
“the society will be dominated by an elite of persons free from traditional values who will have no doubt in fulfilling their objectives by means of purged techniques with which they will influence the behavior of people and will control and watch the society in all details. it will become possible to exert a practically permanent watch on each citizen of the world.”

in continuation of the same theme,here is an excerpt from a dialogue from the 2024 movie ,the conclave.
“certainty is the great enemy of unity. certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance. even christ was not certain at the end. “my god, my god, why have you forsaken me?" he cried out in his agony at the ninth hour on the cross. our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand-in-hand with doubt. if there was only certainty and no doubt, there would be no mystery. and therefore, no need for faith. let us pray that god will grant us a pope who doubts. and let him grant us a pope who sins and asks for forgiveness and who carries on.”
how much can a human brain hold to create certainty is the question?
