my friend told me that this book is quite well known to be pretentious. that annoying philosophers philosophise about it without the slightest clue. and i could see how that’s the case. but really, i think this book is a beautiful and masterful meditation on the tragedy and beauty of human existence. everything we do ultimately leads to nothing, yet we do everything with the utmost self importance. is it that self importance which keeps us living? the studies of the four characters truly felt like meditations on different paths of human life, and i think that is a great achievement.
