I tried to read Camus's "The Stranger" as a young teen. That did not work out as I planned. Way, way beyond me. However, while the protagonist was considering his own physicality and where he fit into this world: "nobody, no matter the force, can occupy my current space...," resonated with me at once. I was a scared, depersonalized and always anxious kid. I felt alone in my anxiety but that paragraph in "The Stranger" gave voice to my pain. I did not feel so alienated and frightened; that meant the world to me. My takeaway into adulthood is this, when I'm in pain, if I turn to the arts for solace, I will usually feel better.

I don't have a rich list of books I finished. I didn't read that much philosophy. I have bachelor's degree in industrial engineering, which isn't close to literature. But somehow story telling was always magical to me. I love stories. And that's why I love books, to live through beautiful worlds, with characters you can Relate to, it's just magnificent. Later on I developed this passion to write, and ever since I am battling my consistent harsh opinion of myself, my writing and whether I can one day do something. Though my life is terribly simple, yet I can say it's not quite similar to other kids my age. However, it's my luck to have an unfair and unhealthy relationship with my mother. Which turns out to be more often the main arch in pretty much anything I write. I keep feeling I am insignificant, following me my stories. I try to reach a certain depth, that I feel I fake it. I don't know. I believe I love what I try to say through these stories. However, I read one day the metamorphosis, and ever since it's become my favourite story. A masterpiece. Delving deeply through important real horrific themes that anyone can relate to: isolation, alienation, religious identity and father son relationship. In my case mother-son kind of relationship. And I became interested to read more great novels for dostoevsky, knut hamsun and more. I believe it's literally what matters in any story, to explore the intricacies of the human mind; Religiously, the absurdity and the emotional journey. For Kafka, I was shocked by how magical it is, the fact of him projecting his real life and insecurities into a story, not only as if a diary telling it the horrible feelings he had, but also, a message easily delivered and valued by many. It became a beautiful reminder every time to me, that whenever I doubt myself I say: I am not like Kafka, and probably would never produce something deep and genuine, but who cares? The guy found a sort of relief by writing, it's my main goal as well. And maybe maybe just maybe I can say something through it that someone somewhere can see it as a big message he received. With Kafka yes it can be philosophy he explores, but still the method is different, it's just too much private with him, that you feel you go over the philosophical themes about life and one's insecurities in a way that makes it close to you. As if it's you, what I am trying to say is with Kafka you feel he's being him simply. He wants to communicate a certain feeling and he does it. It's not heavily deep like other writers. Regardless of my constant self criticism, the fact I found someone like him being affected by his father to literally shape his future and his identity, it's magnificent. We can be misunderstood or taken advantage of, or simply not valued, because we can be different, tired and wishing to just do things in a simple way without human complications. Unfortunately not many share that opinion, and most often we find it hard to blend in. But after all in books I do find myself somehow relieved.

@@dohaaymoon4096 thank you so much, your words made my day. It's beautiful how someone somewhere can find beauty in someone else's words. I don't know, I feel doing such a thing as having a channel is not gonna work for me. Sometimes I feel I don't get what is the point of something, or interpret it without any depth. I guess I will keep writing hoping I can leave something valuable

And yet, here we are for all of the insight wisdom approach and understanding experience, back at Nietzsche's statement, "If you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you". It would seem that Nothing has been learned due to too much complacency and ignorance and that is why the World is once more in it's current state of chaos.

Thanks for posting this video. It is truly a n incredible speech by Camus, whose words have become even more relevant nowadays with Russia's expansionism. I wonder if we can add subtitles in other languages so more people can benefit from these wise words

Viggo Mortensen is an actor. He is an educated man that has invested his life interests into more than just a face on screen plays. To answer your question...He is fluent in French and Arabic.
