    I tried to read Camus's "The Stranger" as a young teen. That did not work out as I planned. Way, way beyond me. However, while the protagonist was considering his own physicality and where he fit into this world: "nobody, no matter the force, can occupy my current space...," resonated with me at once. I was a scared, depersonalized and always anxious kid. I felt alone in my anxiety but that paragraph in "The Stranger" gave voice to my pain. I did not feel so alienated and frightened; that meant the world to me. My takeaway into adulthood is this, when I'm in pain, if I turn to the arts for solace, I will usually feel better.

    7:01 is where "the famous talk" actually starts... everything before that is preamble (though some of it was Camus)

    Thanks for posting this video. It is truly a n incredible speech by Camus, whose words have become even more relevant nowadays with Russia's expansionism. I wonder if we can add subtitles in other languages so more people can benefit from these wise words
