This quote and my understanding " i always feel incomplete and try to grab everything so I can feel complete , for this I change my identity every time "
But I wanna know the highest meaning of this quote , whoever has read the camus deeply can answer it because i have only read "the stranger" .
And I've heard a lot about sisyphus.
The comment section is all open , come and engage .
Suggest me all worth reading books of Camus , so I can purchase them and fill my library, obviously I'll read them. (The stranger I've read and a little bit of sisyphus and nothing) .
So I want suggestions because I'm new to existentialism.
Why does Nietzsche conflate knowledge with the ecstasy of being while he, as we all knew, read Goethe's Faust, and he realizes that the mounting of knowledge for its own sake has limited fulfilling returns.
I think Kafka hits closer to home here because we lost the innocence and vulnerability of pleasure, of the constant super-ego injunction in the activities we "throw" ourselves the moment we ate from the tree of knowledge... I feel like we lost the truer sense of life the moment we got struck by the realisation of the impending danger of survival and by the "overflow" evolving of consciousness...
