If one does not fall into despair, they will not seek self-rescue. The obsession with moving forward remains, but it is no longer about escape; instead, it is about exploration. Cut off the familiar state of life, sever the illusions and falsehoods, and break the weakness that is manipulated by salvation. Using nihilism to cut through illusions is existentialism. Even if it involves pain and chaos, it is about possessing the will to choose and to explore. Because behind illusions lies a deeper void.
