What can we learn from The Stranger?

A reader asks me if I knew why Meursault (the main character in the book The Stranger by Albert Camus) did what he did? Because she does, according to her.

The biggest lesson that I have learned from him is that one should always maintain a certain degree of detachment from the world around us.  I have recognized with age that there are only so many hours in a day and we can only do some much to solve our and others problems.  While his Buddha like attitude is somewhat unachievable, I know that once we detach ourselves from some of the things around us, it is easier to find time to be happy.
