NOTE

Create Your Own Meaning

Nihilism stems from a misunderstanding of meaning, mistakenly assuming the absence of a divine source equates to a lack of meaning in life. Rather than waiting for pre-packaged meaning, individuals should recognize that meaning is a human construct and their responsibility. Life’s meaning is not predetermined but created through choices, similar to selecting a career or life partner. One's life can hold meaning based on personal actions and decisions, rather than passive declarations of meaninglessness. Ultimately, individuals must decide whether to engage actively in life or remain inactive, as their actions continuously shape the meaning of their existence.
