In "The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays," Albert Camus suggests that the process of thinking deeply is often hindered by societal norms and pressures. He argues that genuine understanding starts within, as the core of human struggles lies in the heart of man itself. Instead of confronting our inner turmoil, society tends to avoid it, leading to a detachment from authentic beginnings.

Camus emphasizes the importance of navigating the complex journey from clarity to confusion regarding existence. He portrays this journey as a perilous one, where people often choose to escape from the harsh realities of life instead of embracing the light of understanding. Ultimately, he advocates for a deeper introspection to confront the inherent challenges of human experience.
