How to Live as an Existentialist

Daily life is a grueling class that teaches us the difficulty of holding on to a sense of fulfillment, the contingency of existence, the immanence of death. If we fail to see these existential truths and fail to understand the meaning within them, it’s less because we lack knowledge and more because we refuse to face these truths. It’s because we exercise a deliberate ignorance that begins in cowardice and is sustained by bad faith.
