this does sound bad, but i actually do understand some of his actions. genuinely understand. why he killed that man, why he didn’t cry. i also didn’t cry when i learnt my niece died, she was a baby and i just kept on playing a stupid mobile game. shock does that to you.

it’s incredible (also from a ND perspective) how the trial wasn’t about the actual crime, but just about the crime of Not Conforming to social rules. easy as that.

i’m glad i started my camus marathon with this book.
