“The more serious poetry of the race has a philosophical structure of thought. It contains beliefs and conceptions in regard to the nature of man and the universe, God and the soul, fate and providence, suffering, evil and destiny. Great poetry always has, like the higher religion, a metaphysical content. It deals with the same august issues, experiences and conceptions as metaphysics or first philosophy.” MenFirstsSoulPhilosophySufferingUniverseEvilBeliefDealsRaceDestinyIssuesFateSeriousHigherPhilosophicalRegardStructureConceptionProvidenceMetaphysicsMetaphysicalAugustNature Of ManGreat PoetGreat Poetry Book:The Field of Philosophy: An Outline of Lectures on Introduction to Philosophy Source: The Field of Philosophy: An Outline of Lectures on Introduction to Philosophy

“Happiness and the absurd are two sons of the same earth. They are inseparable. It would be a mistake to say that happiness necessarily springs from the absurd discovery. It happens as well that the felling of the absurd springs from happiness. "I conclude that all is well," says Oedipus, and that remark is sacred. It echoes in the wild and limited universe of man. It teaches that all is not, has not been, exhausted. It drives out of this world a god who had come into it with dissatisfaction and a preference for futile suffering. It makes of fate a human matter, which must be settled among men.” MenWorldHumansWellsTwoMatterHappensWould BeEarthHappinessSufferingUniverseMistakeTeachFateThis WorldSonSpringDiscoverySacredAbsurdEchoesExhaustedPreferenceRemarksInseparableDissatisfactionMyth Of Sisyphus Author:Albert Camus

“No one really can have any idea if it's luck or happenstance or timing or fate or the universe or just smart choices that grant you a good life, a happy one. All we can do is decide to own our choices no matter what, to honor them and ourselves as best we can. That whatever is within our control (and there is plenty that is not) is ours. Mine.
