... Serene Xefos WLP 2- Rough Draft Mrs. Casey English HL II February 22, 2004 "If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur in this life" and "You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life." Both of these quotes are famous quotes, by the existentialist Albert Camus. Existentialism is a concept with no precise definition; it is an idea, with many different 'levels' of thinking, that branch off into different theological beliefs. In its simplest form, existentialism stresses an individual's existence, and consequently focuses on subjectivity, individual freedom and personal choice. Not all existentialists share the same beliefs and there are many variations amongst existential beliefs; for example, an existentialist can be an atheist
