The Rebel - Albert Camus' Warning To The West

In a world absent God; a world of despair, Camus asks, what makes us human? Camus asks: “What is a rebel? A man who says no, but whose refusal does not imply a renunciation.”
Think about that. I will say no to this awful world of mad leaders and hateful writers. I will say no to the imperative of picking sides and choosing whose life matters more. I will say no to those who desecrate the beauty of language to shout louder.
But I will not renounce the world. I will stand astride the ugliness. Choose not to share platforms with charlatans. And I will say yes, to the belief that words spoken to the heart will still be heard.
That’s Camus.
