ABSTRACT

There are three possible existential attitudes in the face of the necessary impossible conundrum of death: renouncement (suicide); transcendence (immortality narrative); or immersion (engagement and rebellion in an absurd world). The possibilities of existence are limitless, determined by chance, but also by our attitude in life that calls for serendipity: the capture of chance opportunities and the cultivation of happy alignments. Fear is the enemy of a life well lived: a life that each of us, once we decide to live, calls for the responsibility of exhausting all of its possibilities, away from guilt, and in avoidance of regrets, with a focus for happy alignments, cultivating surprises and the constant self-conscious awe of being, for a time that is necessarily finite but that nobody can determine.
