He states that we will either discover the meaning through a leap of faith, by placing our faith in a higher being, or else we will conclude that our life has no meaning. He quickly addresses the idea by questioning if we come to the conclusion that life is meaningless does that lead someone to commit suicide. If life has no meaning does that lead you to conclude that life is not even worth living' Camus does suggest a third idea; that we can accept and live in a world without meaning or purpose. “Living in the absurd is a matter of facing this fundamental contradiction and maintaining constant awareness of it,” as stated by Camus. Facing the absurd does not necessarily bring about suicide, but the opposite, allows us to live life to the fullest. He identifies three characteristics of the absurd life: revolt, freedom, and passion. Revolt is the state in which we must not accept any answer or reconciliation in our struggle.
