The "original sin" of an indifferent outsider

author:A financial person who loves to read

A young man who chooses to lie flat, he is relatively indifferent to family, friendship, and love, and he has no religious beliefs and moral pursuits. Will he be the cancer of this society, the most heinous wicked man? Camus's The Outsider uses the accidental murder of the little man Meursault to show us in an absurd way what the absurd outcome can be in an era when religious kidnapping laws and subjective judgment replace objective analysis.

We can't say that Meursault was a good man. He is indifferent to his mother's life and death, coldly facing his neighbors, impulsive and cowardly about love. And the moral judgment of society crucified him on the cross of death. We need not only ask why personal moral flaws can be judged by his actions, and why religious disapproval of so-called "atonement" and "repentance" makes him a spokesman for the devil. While watching the hilarity of the "outsiders" from the sidelines, while happily observing the execution, will they reflect on their use of false rumors to end a young man's life.

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts, and we can certainly make subjective judgments about one person. However, in the face of events, we cannot use subjective likes and dislikes to speculate on the objective reasons and motives behind the facts. Our laws must be based on objective facts, not on subjective impressions of the parties. Our society must embrace diverse voices and beliefs, and religion must not kidnap the general public.
