Existentialism vs Nihilism vs Absurdism
In: 0
Nihilism: the idea that your life has no inherent purpose. You weren’t born to do or be anything.
Existentialism: Assuming nihilism is true, you can just make up your own purpose to give life meaning.
Absurdism: acknowledges that you have a drive to find purpose in your life, but the universe (being non sentient) is indifferent to this, so maybe you won’t find one, or you will lose that. It states you should primarily strive to just be happy, even if you find life has no purpose.
