About This Quote

You can't know it, because to know it is to be it, and to be it is to not be you. This quote by Albert Camus is a reminder that we don't know the truth about life. We assume that we do but we really don't. It's just as true that we can't know we're living our lives, but that doesn't mean that we are not.

We are all living our lives, whether or not we are aware that is what we are doing. The only way to find out if this is true for us is to stop trying to find out.
