The existentialist's wrestle with this question competing and conflicting each other. Many of their conclusions are awkward, sad or questionable. Nietzsche was the one to set the challenge. Nietzsche's re-evaluation is horribly disgusting though.

i havent read much of nietzsche. more of sartre. because when i first got into philosophy nietzsche was really hard to read. sartre seemed more "laypersons" reading. which is what i needed at the beginning and still do on my journey into philosophy. i think sartre is considered modern right? i think thats why i liked him. but i was drawn into existentialism through my psychotic episode and need for searching about who i am.
i need to read more. its hard to read on these meds. its really hard. i lose motivation and lose concentration and my cognitive function leaves.
