Why ‘Finding Yourself’ Is a Big Lie - Albert Camus (Absurdism). Albert Camus was a French-Algerian writer, and Nobel Prize laureate  who lived through war and loss, and he saw how life doesn’t always offer clear answers. Instead of turning away from that uncertainty, he chose to face it. He wanted to understand what it really means to be alive in a world that doesn’t hand us a ready-made purpose. We’re often told to “find your purpose” or “find yourself,” as if who we are is already out there waiting  for the right moment, the right people, the right place. But Camus questioned that. He didn’t believe there was a perfect version of us hidden somewhere, waiting to be discovered. And there’s a real sense of relief in that. If there’s no single identity we’re supposed to uncover, then we’re not late. We’re not falling behind. We’re not missing out on some secret everyone else already understands. We’re not lost - we’re simply becoming, shaping who we are through the choices we make and the life we live. We learn by living. We change. We try things. We let go of what doesn’t feel true anymore and slowly build a life that feels more honest. When we stop believing there’s one “correct” self we must find, we no longer wait for a dramatic moment of clarity. We start paying attention to what’s right in front of us - the next small step, the next experience, the next chance to grow. In this video, we’re going to explore why searching for a “true self” is a lie - how that belief can keep us stuck, and why embracing life’s uncertainty can actually help us move forward, all from the philosophy of Albert Camus.  So here’s Why ‘Finding Yourself’ Is a Lie from the philosophy of Albert Camus 01.
