I am confused by existentialism.

If everything is inherently meaningless and it is up to a singular person to create that meaning for their own lives and they decide that murder is what gives them meaning, is there anything in existentialism that says this is not ok? Most people would say murder is infringing another person's human rights but I don't think human rights are a thing in existentialism, right? Ahh idk someone help explain this to me.

This is a fatal flaw in existentialism. Thankfully, Beauvoir addresses the problem in her *Ethics of Ambiguity*. Because we all are free in the existential sense and because our freedom requires the freedom of the other, all acts (murder included) that rob a person of their freedom are deemed immoral. IMO, she offers the only satisfactory account of an existentialist ethics.
