What did Camus mean by "Become so very free that your whole existence is an act of rebellion?

 What did the famous Philosopher Albert Camus mean by his quote "Become so very free that your whole existence is an act of rebellion."? What sort of rebellion did he mean? Can someone explain this quote to me?

Thanks.

The kind of rebellion exemplified in Sisyphus - whose continued existence is an act of rebellion (in his case against the gods and his fate).

Camus says we have no gods, of course, but we do have a sort of fate - the fate of being fellow sufferers in, as he sees it, a fundamentally absurd situation.  Camus calls on us to embrace our situation - the absurdity, contingency, ambiguity, responsibility, etc., *and also* the possibility for joy and passion *but without* hope or sentimentality.

Just doing this is an act of rebellion.
