Is absence in its verbal manifestation a driver of existence, or more precisely, a driver of meaning?

Absence has another synonym that focuses on loss, that is, physical loss in any form.

So what happens after that loss or absence? It is a human condition that leads to a deeper understanding of the essence of things or individuals around you. There is loss that does not evoke feelings of sorrow and pulls you into the usual cavities of life's losses, and there is loss that shakes you and leads to dire consequences that only you feel.

Is loss a temporary destruction or a moment of contemplation to choose other paths to continue walking in this life?

And what happens if it is destruction or contemplation?

Let the question hang for a moment.

Life will continue its movement, unconcerned with those who have stopped, for stopping is a form of surrender and acceptance of being trampled (and being trampled here is a metaphor) meaning remaining in place as a point through which things pass without care.

The impact of loss differs whether it is individual or collective; its effect on the group requires massive mechanisms to alleviate the severity of that loss, because groups do not carry a single psychological state, but rather different feelings in accepting loss at varying degrees until they reach a stage of fading that feeling of loss.

Let us pause our question at the individual itself; it knows that the main principle of life is based on departure, and departure is a state of loss. This cognitive and life certainty, whoever does not accept it, hinders themselves. Yes, initially, they suffer from multiple states that begin with panic and do not end with regret over that loss...

From here, loss becomes a purely human condition, which may cause you to tremble or reject reality and search for what you have lost.

If you do not find what stops your trembling and do not find compensation for what you have lost, how will your life be?

An individual cannot change the wheel of life’s course; because the lives of groups move in massive blocks that do not depend on the desires of the individual. The individual is a very small nail in a machine of enormous size, which can do without that nail or replace it.

Here, the individual can accept a philosophy through which they live; to regain their existence, any philosophy that grants them survival even if it is at the minimum level of active existence.

Only this individual must do something beneficial even if the return from this existence is minimal, and I believe that the philosophy of nihilism cannot provide them with any concept of existence.

So, whoever buries themselves on the surface of the earth due to a state of loss, it is more merciful for them to bury themselves in its depths.
