Militant decency.

@herhandsmyhands I remember that this was quite strongly pointed out in a BBC movie that was aired after his death ("Back in Black"? I'm no longer sure if that's the one).

I love this trait of character in people.

Albert Camus was also like that. For Camus, the answer to the absurdity of life is the revolt, defined as both an intense "no" to *any* injustice and cruelty and an intense "yes" to life.

Everybody knows The Stranger but they ought to read the The Rebel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rebel_%28book%29

@herhandsmyhands Beware not to confuse Camus' revolt with nihilism, which is completely different (that's basically the point of his book). Nihilism doesn't hold any positive proposition, no love, and knows no limit.
