How do you interpret this?

[abaris]

I ran across this quote today, and thought I'd ask you all here what does it mean to you? Is it meant to be taken in a grander way, that life is rather absurd, at the end of the day? Curious as to how you might interpret it on your own.

Knowing Camus' work, I guess that's exactly what he meant. He probably had his share of absurd encounters in his own time. And taking the streetcorner quote literally, what's more absurd than people seemingly talking to themselves? Or virtually everyone staring at and fiddling with a small screen all of the time, at any occasion?

That's but one of the absurdities of our times.
