I don't see why people think Meursault is a horrible person. They think that he is very sadistic and non-emotional to all the different things around him. So if he didn't cry for his dead mother or cared that he killed a Arab. Death is just a part of life and each humans never wants to think that they will die the next day. When his mother died his childhood started to disappears from him even though he tried to hold onto it my calling her mommy. He started a new life with his old life, a new man, with many feelings that are indescribable, he made new friends and moved on from his past, and never looked back at why he didn't mourn for his lost mother. when he killed the Arab he didn't really care that he killed him. He doesn't dwell on the past and he starts to let go of all emotions from his new past life and look toward a new life. a life where he is alone and the feelings of being forgotten. He stopped receiving letters from Marie and they took away the attractions he had to the world, like cigarettes and "sex".

Meursault, is now living a life where his emotions are not strong enough to remember, his sadness and happiness is not strong enough to make him feel and anylse the world in those eyes. but the feelings of anger took over his body and bursted out uncontrollably. the one type of emotion devour the remains of Meursault from his past lives and now he wishes all the same to the rest. Things are more meaningful to those who are hated than loved. Happiness can be found anywhere but hatred can only be found underneath the thick layers of happiness. Since this world is filled with hatred with the divine judgment; by god or by humans this brings hatred to the world and that one feeling will be the one emotions that can never leave your body. happiness can be from many things but hatred can only be from oneself.

Meursault thinks that if people cry for him when he dies he can't do anything about it and will be forgotten in his new life. He can't stop things from happening but he can fuel the strongest emotion from the human mind and carve out the memories of the man who killed an Arab because he felt like killing that Arab 5 times over.

The one perfect life that Meursault wants is to life new lives with true feelings, to not forget and just move forward and to live a life with no regrets.
