Off the top of my head, I find it interesting how our (or at least my) view on certain concepts is so hyperdynamic. "God" is a prime example, I think my view, opinion, and definition of this word is different every week.
I also like the message in the story of Sisyphus, it is similar to Camus' work, with his views on absurdism.
Reading anything related right now?
I just started Sartre's "Being and Nothingness" last week. I really like his work.
Maybe at some point we could start reading the same book and discuss chapters?
That said, I refrain from viewing anything I discover or learn from philosophy as a capital T Truth.
I merely find what resonates with me and call it "plausible" or "a beautiful, interesting way of looking at things". Knowledge is never complete.

You’d probably find Theosophy particularly intriguing; the short of it is basically that theosophists can be of any faith (or lack thereof) but tend to apply the principles of many various belief systems and practices (particularly eastern). I quite like the idea of blending theology with philosophy, personally!
Camus is a great author. Huge fan of absurdism in the face of ontological or existential challenges. Economically it’s been the best mindset for me with the recent world chaos and subsequent ennui & existential dread, haha.
Diving deep into rationality and absurdism in equal measures has been a very fun way to explore reality. Like you said, seeking truth with a lowercase “t” has led to a more abundant experience! :)
Theosophy, first time hearing it. That description fits well with me, I'll have a look at it. Thanks for bringing it up!
