The Psychology of Being Late

The Absurd Life | Albert Camus

Every morning we wake up and follow the same cycle wake up, work, eat, sleep, repeat. Day after day the routine continues, an endless loop that never seems to break.

But why? What’s the point of it all?

Maybe you have felt it before that strange, unsettling moment when everything seems meaningless. When the things that once felt important start to feel empty. When life itself begins to resemble a machine operating without purpose, without reason.

Albert Camus felt this too. But instead of drowning in despair, he found an answer an answer that can change the way you see life forever.

“What if everything you believed about purpose, meaning, and success was a lie? What if life is, at its core, meaningless… and that’s the key to freedom?”
