Mystery and risk are what give life that weight!

"David Hume, a famous 18th-century philosopher, once said about life that “The whole is a riddle, an enigma, an inexplicable mystery.” Camus feels strongly that “doctrines that explain everything to me also debilitate me at the same time.” Camus’s great point captures what we’re saying: He feels offended by the desire to explain everything about life, because such explanations would “relieve” him, as he put it, of the “weight of my own life.” Mystery and risk are what give life that weight; they’re the fuel from which the fire of passion burns."
