Studying day by day and getting lost for the future? A book called Le Mythe de Sisyphe (The Myth of Sisyphus) 《薛西弗斯的神話》written by Albert Camus (卡繆) may help you find a way out.
You may find that there are so many possibilities in the world and you are so weak to face them. Camus called this situation “the absurd” (荒謬感), which means there is a conflict between what we need from the world and what we get from the world. But the question is, what can we do under the absurd? Camus explained in a very detailed and logical way. He also quoted a Greek Mythology: The Myth of Sisyphus. At the end of the book, Camus said, “We have to imagine that Sisyphus is in happiness.”
