How Does the Concept of Existentialism Help Us Find the Meaning of Life in the Midst of Uncertainty?

 

 

  Hi, today I want to share an interesting topic, namely "How Does the Concept of Existentialism Help Us Find the Meaning of Life in the Midst of Uncertainty?", the main reason why I chose this topic is because many people are experiencing an identity crisis in this modern era,  Indeed, finding the purpose of life is not easy,  but one can do it as long as they build a habit where Innovate their disciplined action and their commitment, just for information,  Existentialism was born amidst crisis, war, and the uncertainty of life, so it is very relevant to discuss. Here's the explanation:

🔎 Key Concepts of Existentialism

✅Existence precedes essence (Jean-Paul Sartre)

This means that humans are born without an absolute "innate destiny"; we ourselves create meaning through our choices and actions.

✅Freedom & Responsibility

Everyone is free to choose their own path, but this freedom comes with full responsibility for the consequences.

✅Anxiety (angst)

The uncertainty of life creates anxiety, but it is precisely from this anxiety that we can realize our freedom and potential.

✅Authenticity

Life is meaningful when we dare to be true to ourselves, rather than simply following social trends or external pressures.

✅Meaning in Limitation (Viktor Frankl, Logotherapy)

Even in suffering, humans can still find meaning—for example, through love, work, or our attitude toward circumstances.

🌱 How Does Existentialism Help You Find the Meaning of Life?

✅ Accepting uncertainty as part of life

Existentialism teaches that uncertainty is not something to be feared, but rather a space for growth.

✅ Finding meaning through conscious choice

Instead of waiting for external “life answers,” we create meaning through decisions that align with our values.

✅ Living authentically in the present

Rather than dwelling on future anxieties, existentialism encourages us to be fully present and honest with ourselves in the present moment.

✅ Transforming suffering into an opportunity for meaning

In difficult circumstances, we can ask: “What is the most humane attitude I can take in this situation?”

✨ Practical Example

When facing career uncertainty, instead of waiting for complete certainty, we can choose a path that aligns with our values, even if the risks are significant.

In complex relationships, we learn to take full responsibility for our choices—whether to stay, change, or let go.

In times of loss, we can find meaning by helping others who are also suffering.

 🔑 Conclusion

Existentialism doesn't provide "definitive answers," but rather provides a framework for thinking: that precisely in the midst of uncertainty, we have the freedom to create meaning, live authentically, and take responsibility for our choices.

Why the imagination is very important

            In this topic i would like to discuss about the imagination, as you know the universe is created by God, before He created something great in million years ago, He started to use his imagination to create everything he liked so much, there is one of valuable God’s power to be given to human being is the power of imagination, but He restricted Human’s imagination in order to measure how far the human‘s imagination is working. The classification of imagination itself can’t be ended in addition the Imagination itself can be formed into several the ultimate Power namely creativity, love and focus.

            When the human being is created at the first time, the human being is given the power of imagination in order to make Human being wants to search the God’s creation within living things in the universe, if we compare between the universe and the power of imagination, imagination is beyond of the universe which it is including the whole of space, stars, planet, etc.

            The world is imagination is boundless, there is no end and there’s no restricted time, so if Human being want to know about God, they should not try to use their power of imagination because it’s too wide to be imagined, the part of boundary of human’s power is time, so when someone tries to imagine and making statue to represent about God’s existence, it’s absurdity. There is only one way human are allowed by God to use the power of imagination is making purpose of life.

            When the purpose of life has been created by human being, so that human being would create everything such as making of happiness with their own way and furthermore once the imagination has been formed into the specific thing, there is something great will be born, we can call it as an idea and talent. That’s the next ultimate power will stay within human’s soul.

We can conclude why the power of imagination is beyond at all :

-     The first is the imagination will help human to use that power to create an idea.

-  The second is the imagination will help human to make something from what they imagine.

-     The third is imagination is created by God in order to make Human believe to what they imagine about God’s creation. The fourth is the imagination has no end and has no restricted time, only human is limited
