Ball of Stress

A man who throws society aside, and  lives in the now, is quite frankly a superhuman. I am not saying that the actions of taking the motto "living only once" are impossible. I know plenty of people who have skydived, smoked, and have never fastened their seatbelt. It is perfectly normal for people to care about the future. The problem is the past. Not even Meursault, the messiah of existentialism could could cope with the "series of choices...", choices that would "create stress."

Meursault again schemes the reader into thinking that he is man of no passion, no dwellings on the past:  a person who frankly doesn't give a @#∞¢. Camus tries hard to engage the reader into disliking Meursault: the murder, maman´s burial, and with such disasters no feeling? Such feelings leads the reader to think of Meursault as a psychopath. But suddenly all the choices that Meursault has executed fall hard on his supposedly YOLO lifestyle. 

Once Meursault lands is jail, he dwells on the PAST! He thinks about sex (Marie), true love (maman), and society as a whole (the chaplain.) The chaplain, that tries to persuade Meursault to repent his sins is ousted by Meursault. The first time that the Camus depicts Meursault as infuriated, and not only infuriated with a man, but a man who signifies society. A man of god, the symbol in which the majority of the world strives to express tampers with Meursault´s emotion. Stress can be resembled with Meursault´s situation, a man who realizes that his end is near. A man who realizes that he has snowballed, and for once he is illustrated on his past, and what his future will bring him. 

"Life is a series of choices, creating stress."
