question 3

True/False

In this selection we see Camus's overall assessment that life is absurd, meaningless. The only important philosophical question is, why not commit suicide? Life is compared with the myth of Sisyphus, wherein man is condemned by the gods to roll a huge stone up a mountain, watch it roll back down, and retrieve it, only to repeat the process endlessly.
-Camus says it is better not to know that we are eventually going to die.
