At the end of the book, Meursault comes to the conclusion that life is only worth living if you want it to be worth something. He realizes that no one cares when you die and no one will remember you. Camus doesn't want the reader to come to the same conclusion and instead wants us to understand that this is Meursault's only way of coming to terms with his capital punishment of death. Meursault ends up happy at the end of the book because he really believes that he doesn't need to live anymore and that it really doesn't matter when he dies.
