The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding.... The most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill. The soul of the murderer is blind; and there can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.

In a time and place with suffering, conflict, and pain, there are hurt people who hurt people.
For those who think critically, the choice is clear: avoid standing with the ones doing the harm.

The Wind at Djémila (1936)
I just read The Wind at Djémila, an essay about Roman ruins in Algeria by Albert Camus. This image of a Roman arch makes me think of the “triumphal arch” that Donald Trump is building in Washington, D.C. today. It also reminds me of a poem, Ozymandias (1818) by Percy Bysshe Shelley that I memorized in school about 55 years ago.

The Wrong Side and The Right Side, 1935-36
Excerpts from a preface, written by Albert Camus in 1958, after two decades had passed and he decided at the urging of others to let what he considered his flawed essays be published:
“Naturally, a writer has some joys he lives for and that do satisfy him fully. But for me, these come at the moment of conception, at the instant when the subject reveals itself, when the articulation of the work sketches itself out before the suddenly heightened awareness, at those delicious moments when imagination and intelligence are fused. These moments disappear as they are born. What is left is the execution, that is to say, a long period of hard work. On another level, an artist also has the delights of vanity…
In order to be created, a work of art must first of all make use of the dark forces of the soul. But not without channeling them, surrounding them with dikes, so that the water in them rises. Perhaps my dikes are still too high…
The second reason I've kept these early essays to myself will then be clear: clumsiness and disorder reveal too much of the secrets closest to our hearts; we also betray them through too careful a disguise. It is better to wait until we are skillful enough to give them a form that does not stifle their voice, until we know how to mingle nature and art in fairly equal doses; in short, to be. For being consists of being able to do everything at the same time…
Yes, nothing prevents one from dreaming, in the very hour of exile, since at least I know this, with sure and certain knowledge: a man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.”

El mito de Sísifo, Albert Camus
Este libro publicado en el año 1942 es una obra clave para entender una de las preguntas más profundas que todos nos hacemos en algún momento de la vida, que es cómo encontrarle sentido a la existencia cuando parece que nada lo tiene. El autor francés Albert Camus parte de un concepto que llama el absurdo, que es ese choque chocante entre nuestras ganas humanas de encontrar orden, explicaciones y respuestas, y un universo que se queda completamente mudo y al que no le importan nuestros planes. En lugar de caer en el desánimo o de inventar respuestas falsas para salir del apuro, Camus nos propone mirar de frente esa realidad sin miedo y aprender a vivir con ella.
Para explicar esta idea, el escritor usa la antigua historia griega de Sísifo, un hombre que fue castigado por los dioses a empujar una enorme piedra cuesta arriba por una montaña. El truco del castigo era que, justo antes de llegar a la punta, el peso de la roca la hacía rodar otra vez hasta abajo de todo, obligando a Sísifo a empezar el trabajo desde cero por el resto de la eternidad. Camus se fija en el momento exacto en que el hombre camina de regreso al pie de la montaña para recoger la piedra, porque en ese instante Sísifo es totalmente consciente de su destino y, al aceptar su esfuerzo sin quejarse, se vuelve dueño de su propio camino, haciendo que el castigo de los dioses pierda todo su poder.
Llevar este pensamiento a nuestra vida diaria nos invita a ver la rutina y los problemas de todos los días con una mente mucho más libre y despierta. El libro nos demuestra que la verdadera rebeldía y la felicidad no vienen de encontrar una meta mágica o una respuesta definitiva al vacío de la existencia, sino del puro gusto de vivir, de luchar y de elegir nuestras propias acciones a pesar de que el mundo sea caótico. No hace falta que la vida tenga un manual de instrucciones o un premio al terminar el camino para que valga la pena ser disfrutada a cada paso, por lo que debemos imaginar a Sísifo completamente feliz en su tarea.

🧵 2/3
...this volume of essays by Camus first published in 1938.
I don't follow IVE closely enough to know if Liz is actually reading this book. It could well just be a prop, although I would be delighted to discover that the book is hers.
Book or no book....

«El absurdo nace cuando el ser humano busca sentido en un universo indiferente. Pero de ese absurdo surgen tres fuerzas: la rebeldía, la libertad y la pasión. Aceptar que la vida carece de sentido inherente no es resignación, es un llamado a vivir plenamente, a crear significado en cada acto, porque incluso en el silencio del mundo, la existencia merece ser abrazada.» -
