i've been thinking about this line ever since I saw that anime a year or so ago. Almost everyday. Glad i'm not the only one.
I have a soft spot for ''Immortal beings searching for a meaning in life''-settings, but this one is very unique, even in said tired and true theme.

Honestly Camus' problem is just that he is egocentric. He is Job asking God "But why does suffering happen to ME?" But he has no God to ask him rhetorically where he was when the heaven and the earth was made, i.e. it doesn't happen to YOU, it just happens and you get in the way.

That's not what the quote indicates at all. You guys are obsessed with avoiding facing anything, you dress up any notion of effort or work or mere action as some revolting capitalist degeneration or slavery. Despite the fact that most of the time a quote or post does not fit into that whatsoever, in fact, rejects it (as this one does). You have nothing to say so you revert to the same meme.
