Here you are.

Somehow, either through the combination of tragic events in

which you felt the harsh stabbing of the truth of life bleed you out into a melancholy, or the sudden realization of the meaninglessness of your world and the indifference the universe reflects upon humanity,

you have decided to willingly climb the structure of a building and let the entirety of your existence smack into a sidewalk.

You know all the cliches.

You have a life worth living.

Well, okay, but then why is my life's purpose reserved to the cruelty of chaotic existence?

We care about you and love you.

Well, I'm sure there must be some honesty behind this statement, but why has this been brought to my attention now

and not the moments preceding the one in which I was about to leave your life?

It makes sense to end it, right?

Once an individual spends a good amount of time trying to find some objective purpose of being here, they end up pretty disappointed by their findings.

The world makes no sense.

You're brought up under the assumption that the bad will get what they truly deserve

and the good will be rewarded for their deeds.

Then why do horrible things happen?

And why, when late at night you ask the cosmos, why do these things happen?

Why does anything happen?

Are you met with absolute silence?

No one cares, and why should you?

Why should you live?

You take one breath and just as you're about to let go?

Habité!

A man grabs your arm and greets you with a warm smile.

The stench of 1940s French cigarettes is the first thing to greet your perception of Albert Camus, one of the most famous novelists of the 20th century.

Camus loved life.

He loved soccer, he loved women, the more the merrier, and he loved, loved, loved art.

Okay then, Camus, are you going to teach me some type of hippie crap?

Are you going to convert me to our lord and savior?

No!

You see, Camus may be one of the best characters in history to agree with you on this perceived utter meaninglessness of the world.

Camus even has a name for this.

Not necessarily the meaningless of the world itself, but when people perceive it.

Absurdity, he calls it.

Camus believes that we live in an absurd world because of our human tendency to try to search for reason, truth, and some type of meaning.

We set systems to determine these truths through religion and even philosophy itself, but they never seem to completely work out.

Simply because the way the world works, the way reality functions, isn't under these truths.

If the world wasn't absurd, no innocent people would die.

People that are honest and work hard would be rewarded.

Your very healthy and young dog wouldn't suddenly grow a tumor and die.

But we live in an absurd world and these things do happen.

Part of the thing that's such a bummer about this absurdity is how frustrated we get about all this chaos

and unjust fate.

We try to make sense of the world and the world doesn't appear to make any sense at all.

Then we feel defeated and crumble under the weight of all this hopeless suffering.

This realization isn't necessarily.. the worst thing that could happen.

In fact, it is the beginning of one of the truest ways to live.

Camus states that nothing becomes a tragedy until the hero is conscious of their circumstances.

All these people driving into work, stuck in traffic, and cursing racial slurs, cramping their backs over filing legal reports in small office cubicles,

only to return home, splurge on various centers of satisfaction, just enough to get them to do it again the next day.

For the most part, these people never go, why?

Their life is not a tragedy.

But you did.

You asked, why do I go to work?

So I can get money for those new Air Jordan XX9s.

Why do you want that?

So I can be a sick baller.

Why do you want to be that?

So I can impress this girl at my gym.

Why do you want to impress her?

Because I think I have the possibility to fall in love with her.

Why do you want to fall in love?

Because then I will be happy.

Why do you want to be happy? Because it feels good.

Why does it matter if you feel good?

It's better than feeling bad.

Why does it feel better?

It just does?

You saw that there was a logical fallacy in anything you did, that eventually you reach a point where you go, What is the point?

So you're here.

Thanks Camus.

Yes, you are conscious of your existence and you think suicide will solve the absurdity and meaninglessness of it all.

But have you considered your other alternatives?

You see for Camus there is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.

Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.

All other questions, whether there was truly three dimensions, whether we have nine or twelve categories in our minds,

which eye is Sartre's good eye, these are secondary.

Camus takes this seriously and presents us with this idea of the reason why we off ourselves.

We do it because we are conscious of the absurdity of our world and our existence, and we simply cannot take it anymore.

Suicide to him is confessing that life is too much for you, or that you do not understand it.

It is merely confessing that...

It is not worth the trouble.

Camus knows you're stronger than this, and you know somewhere inside yourself you are stronger than this.

Have you ever considered the strength that you hold as a human being?

You are the universe attempting to figure itself out.

Don't end it because you got confused.

Because these rules that other people made up don't happen to coincide with the way the universe is.

Don't surrender to the absurdity.

Camus says that, In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

Within every individual is this power to be happy, to enjoy life in the desert of their existence.

Albert Camus knew this, and he knew

that arguing with a suicidal nihilist will amount to no good

if he tried to use any system of purpose because that's just not something you do with a nihilist.

Life will be lived all the better if it has no meaning. But the suffering, Camus.

What about the suffering?

This is totally the absurd's fault, man.

And do you know what you should do?

You should revolt against it.

Scorn it but never deny its existence.

100

You have to accept it scornfully. But how?

101

Camus uses the Greek myth of Sisyphus to really nail this point home.

102

Sisyphus is one badass guy and he's running around being an asshole to the gods.

103

He chains up death and then spills beans about super secret god stuff.

104

So they grab Sisyphus, give him a boulder and tell him to roll it up a hill.

105

But when he rolls it to the top it rolls back down.

106

In fact, every time he rolls it up, he rolls back down.

107

He is performing a task of absolute futility, meaninglessness.

108

Sisyphus is in a good position.

109

He knows that his purpose, his actions in life, are meaningless, and he's stuck there.

110

He knows this too because he is condemned.

111

But Sisyphus, at least in Camus interpretation, is one smart guy.

112

Sisyphus doesn't hope that eventually things get better.

113

He doesn't develop some deity or pray to the gods to stop his suffering.

114

He doesn't jump off the top of a mountain to end his suffering and kill himself.

115

No. Sisyphus enjoys it.

116

He is in the moment.

117

He embraces the absurdity of his condition, and by enjoying it, he revolts against it.

118

He is scornful.

119

Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night -filled mountain in itself forms a world.

120

The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart.

121

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

122

Now, why the hell are you going to jump off here?

123

Live, goddammit.

124

We are all participants in existence and we all suffer, and whether there is a greater or less suffering in others is not an appropriate argument,

125

because suffering itself should be but a greater reason for compassion among us in a meaningless desert.

126

And in this desert we shall create.

127

Continue to push the boulder of existence, of life, not because you may reach the top and be done, but because it is in the suffering, in the hardest of our times,

128

in our loneliest of lonelies, in our daily struggle to comprehend just how absurd everything is.

129

We experience the most fullest, genuine, and beautiful of life that our human condition has to offer.

130

Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
