In the essay The Myth of Sisyphus, Albert Camus attempts to give answers to some difficult questions. He wants to know whether life is worth living or how we can make it worth living, and also whether it is possible to live with certainty or not. For him, the absurd man realizes that life is absurd after his expectations are repeatedly contradicted and realizes that the world is an unreasonable place that cannot be explained. These unreasonable expectations of certainty ultimately lead many foolish men to think that life is not worth living when they are faced with what they feel is a hopeless situation. Camus offers an alternative to the problem facing the absurd man, and it is not suicide or “philosophical suicide.” Other philosophers commit philosophical suicide by suggesting that there is enough evidence, whatever it is, that one should survive only by hope or by taking a few leaps. But Camus thinks that if a person is honest and true with himself, he knows that he is nothing more than “a stranger” in this world. So how do you live a life worth living in the face of absurdity? A good example of what might happen to someone going through an existential crisis described by Camus is found in the short story The Wall by Jean Paul Sartre. It is the story of three men sentenced to execution and their time before that. The main character Pablo at the beginning practically loses all will to live because he knows that his death is imminent. I will try to describe what I think Albert Camus might think of the characters in the story The Wall. I will speak from Camus' point of view and explain what Pablo and the other characters could have done differently to use their freedom to the best of their ability... middle of paper... for us the best way to use our freedom and build, one day, a life worth living. In conclusion, I think Camus has the most optimistic view of all the philosophers we've talked about, including Sartre, as well as the most realistic when it comes to using your freedom and making life worth living. If the characters in The Wall had embraced some of Camus' ideas, Juan and Tom might have calmed down and made the best of their situation. If we want to make life worth living we must accept the absurdity and the sooner the better. This is the only way we can be content with our life. It's a bad deal for human beings, but if we are forced to live in a meaningless world we should make the best of it by maximizing our experiences because from what we can tell living is better than dying because it is something impossible to experience.
