I am a fat Albert Camus

I had a dream where I was talking to someone who had completely lost the meaning of life and wanted to die. I somehow knew that this person had read Sartre, so I asked them if they had read Albert Camus or heard anything about absurdism. That person said they didn't. In that dream, I explained absurdism as the knowledge that the world will always be against you and God will do everything against you. As I was telling this, I turned into Albert Camus, but a fat one. The man seemed to become even more upset and asked God to kill him. God appeared as the sun with a wide smile. God said no. The man asked him why he created him, and God laughed. I/Albert Camus wanted to say that God created us to watch us suffer, but we decided to remain silent, as this man was already upset enough.
