The meaning of life

Albert Camus said*:
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
I disagree. Sometimes you have to look long and hard to understand what happiness is before you can pursue it. And the meaning of life… well… If you’re always looking for a purpose, it certainly is hard to live—but if you don’t have one at all, living is even harder.
I’ve created the Holodoxy category to summarize the results of my own fumbling search for the meaning of life. Take from it what you will—it’s a work in progress. If you’re feeling brave, maybe you can help me refine it. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
*I’m only joshing—I’ve never read Camus—I just found that quote on the Internet. When it came down to a choice of which existentialist philosopher to explore for further reading, I picked Buber. If it helps, I plan to read Camus…
