Who is this guy? blog post

In the book "The Stranger" by Albert Camus, the main character Meursault is somewhat uncaring, like everything is so troublesome, and i know i've felt like that before, i just felt like everything was too much to deal with and i was just so tired of everything, and because of that i lost some connection to the world because i didn't want to be involve with anything that would just tire me out or be troublesome to my schedule. I feel like i can connect with him, because doesn't seem to be completely on earth, like he's always in a daze, and i sometimes get like that.

I also don't think he's as uncaring as he seems, its just he's not one to show it one, or maybe he doesn't know how to show it, because in the book he mentions how his house "was just the right size when maman was here." it shows that he actually kind of misses her, it makes him notice that his house is kind of empty.

He kind of reminds me of a movie i saw once Garden State. The main character Andrew Largeman (Zach Braff) is a kind of emotionless guy, he himself didn't show any sadness at his own mother's funeral, and in a dream he had he was apathetically sitting in a crashing air plane, but in the end he did start showing his feelings more, and that's what i think is going to happen to Meursault, when things get to a high point or maybe after that high point, he's going to express himself more.

Response to I <3 Huckabees

In this world we live in nothing yet everything makes sense, and everything yet nothing is meaningful.

Everyone has different views on the world, some think life is just a waste of time, and there's nothing exciting about this world, and others love it.

I personally believe this world is meaningful, and doesn't yet does make sense. There are a lot of people in this world, and just because something doesn't mean anything to you, doesn't mean it's the same for everybody else too. Everybody has different things they like and don't, what right do we have to say they're not important, because they all connect, "everything is the same, even if it's different"(Bernard + The Blanket), everything is same even though they have a different shape, look, color, they're still something we use, and we have feelings towards.

Even in Huckabees when that lady Caterine was trying to make everything meaningful, she just ended up connecting everything together, like when they were at Albert's parents house, "he was orphaned by civil war, you were orphaned by indifference", I don't know if the movie was purposely making everything connect or if it was by accident, but it only goes to prove even more that everything is connected.

It also shows how some things don't make sense, you don't how you should live your life, you just know what you learn, and what we learn and are taught makes sense, but the unknown doesn't. We know we need jobs for food, bills, and materials, we don't know why everybody hasn't starting to take action against global warning, why we even exist.
