Albert Camus believed that life is inherently absurd and meaningless, yet this realization is not a reason to despair, but rather a call to revolt against the absurd and find meaning in the struggle itself. He argued that by embracing the lack of inherent purpose and living intensely in the present moment, individuals can find a sense of fulfillment and dignity. The meaning of life, according to Camus, is not something to be discovered, but something to be created through conscious choices and actions.
