Abstract: The review aims to
find out the way out of the human predicament? Where the solution lies? The
examination elaborated on human life's critical philosophical predicament and
the answer behind it; the study listed these problems as scientism, suicide,
hedonism, Asctism, commitment, cultism, indifference to procreation, and
finally, religion. The findings state that the (right) answers to life's big
questions reveal that the human condition is a tragic predicamentone from which
there is no escape. In a sentence: Life is terrible, but so is death. Of
course, life is not bad in every way. Neither is death terrible in every way.
However, both life and death are, in crucial respects, awful. Together, they
constitute an existential vicethe wretched grip that enforces our predicament.
The review determines that there is no doubt that commitment to one's life to
doing good in pursuing a worthy cause gives one's life meaning and value. The
study further states, Mother Theresa of Calculta stands out as a shining
example. She committed her life to the cause of alleviating the suffering of
the poor, the wretched, the outcast, the dying in the streets of Calcutta in
India. In so doing, she so endeared herself to the Indians that, when she died,
a day of National Mourning was observed throughout India, and she was given a
state burial, the type given to Heads of State. This was in recognition of her
selfless commitment and service to India. Perhaps, in this situation, a wise
person would choose the better option that will put him on the safe side, which
is to believe in God and submit to him.Besides, this option gives meaning to
human life and removes absurdity from it.
