Actenism is a philosophical belief that, in essence, outlines the physical presence of everything as blighted and/or damaged from the beginning of its existence. Unlike the concept of pessimism, which fundamentally states that all negative entities outweigh the positive, or existential nihilism, which simply refuses to believe in any meaning to existence, Actenism dictates that the existence of good is precious, but difficult to find, and even more so to preserve.
