As a Buddhist, the main purpose of my life is to avoid superfluous labels, 
such as "Buddhist".

"Is life worth living" is something a person should ask before volunteering to 
be born. Once you've signed up for another tour of duty, it's pointless to 
ask such questions. I have no idea who this Camus fellow was (he's a stranger 
to me), but I'd advise him to get a life.
