Quoted By:

>>7301568
he was asking himself the genuine question,

>why do I want to keep living?

think of it like the clicke 'live every day like it's your last'. Camus was all about self created meaning in the context of the actor eventually ending.

Coffee is metaphor for crack cocaine. As a raging druggy he'd rather kill himself than go though withdrawal

Remainder that it's not clear whether camus actually said this or not.
As >>7301961 pointed out, the line is "Uncle Vania" by chekhov.

The point of this quote (if he really said it) is to illustrate his philosophy in a blunt way--both actions, having a cup of coffee and killing yourself, are equally meaningless. They both don't matter because existence is absurd, but you can rebel against the absurd and choose to have a cup of coffee and enjoy yourself instead of destroying yourself.

>>7302095
This implies that having a cup of coffee is good, and killing yourself/destroying yourself, is bad.

You could argue that coffee is a materialistic impermanent pleasure that can only lead to dissatisfaction, and that killing yourself is good because non existence is a state of non suffering.

This post is so awful, if Camus read it, he would take back everything he ever wrote about suicide
