sounded to me like you have 3 options on how to live.
kill youself
believe in a higher authority than man and try to be better than man.
dont kill yourself but live life like you should have killed yourself but didn't have the conviction to do so.
I'm sure all the clever people are going for the last option, I mean, you cant go believing in dreams. Better to make life the nightmares of your own choosing.

It can be summed up in two words. "So what". If you want a bit more clarification. "Don't take life too seriously and it will be more fun".
Your life is as nightmarish as your thoughts and beliefs make it out to be. When you're left with "so what?" (and I mean truly, not just pretending) no nightmare has staying power. It's the resistance the enables the nightmare.
I guess from a "normal persons" perspective it is kinda loony, but thats why it's called "absurdism".

The muslims say ''it is the will of Allah"
So all thing be it good or bad are deemed as gods devine plan.
There is a certan amount of 'so what' in that way of thinking, because for them there is an afterlife that is infinitely better than this life, so the concerns of this life are trivial.

Well I'd say youre faking it, if your just waiting for the after life where everything will be better.
Really the idea is, it will be better once you go, "so what?". Do what you can to make your life better, and what you can't do, you accept.
