I genuinely want to know how one reads Kafka and then comes to the conclusion that the man was a “happy and well adjusted guy.” No hate to the og poster, I just think it’s kind of funny.

Albert Camus is by far my most treasured philosopher whose philosophy digs into the complexities of life. Camus, himself coming from the background of poverty explains the elements of his writings that grows into the argument of humans constantly searching for meaning except the world indifferent to their existence. Mostly he suggested to accept the absurdity of life and the rebellion and acceptance that comes with it eventually. As an individual I have always found his works resonating. Despite his proposal of the concept that life is meaningless, he has a kind of optimistic approach to it. The true nature of absurdity lies deeper within an individual and that is commencing the absurdity of life to gain credibility. What I find most interesting in his works is that it neither grasps the virtues of existentialism nor does it gives in to the abyss of nihilism. Upheavals of life might not always do poetic justice to certain situations but what lies deeper is the way we respond to it.

To anyone who thinks nandor can’t read. First of all reading and spelling are two different things. Second, English is not the only language in the world. Third, misspelling words isn’t a sign of stupidity. Fourth, Nandor didn’t even go to school to learn languages, yet he can still read and write at least two languages. Fifth, we saw nandor read letters and recite from books on several occasions please remember those. Sixth, he may be bad at spelling stupidass english words but he has written a diary which historians mistook for an actual novel. Seventh, we saw him read a book on the fall of roman empire and in s5 he was reading a book even I don’t know what it was about, so he’s not reading trash. Thank you for attention.
