English: 
We are each born into this world without choosing.
To our
parents. To our certain location of time and
space. To the
particular conditions of our body. As we open
our eyes, we peer
out at a world moving around and onto us.
We exist here and in
the oncoming fleeting moments of our infancy
with no say in any
of it.
Soon we will age past infanthood and into
our cognizant
awareness of our self and the material world
around us. And
soon, to paraphrase existentialist philosopher
Jean-Paul Sartre,
we will begin to face the problem of choosing
what we do with
what’s been done to us. To decide what we
make of everything.
What it all might mean. And what we do with
it.
Jean-Paul Sartre is one of the most widely
recognized and cited thinkers of existential
philosophy. A movement of thinking that took
form during the 19th century, fashioned by
individuals like Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich
Nietzsche, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, and then
further popularized by individuals including
Albert Camus, Martin Heidegger, and of course,
Sartre.
In Sartre’s lecture, Existentialism is a
Humanism, he

Jean paul sartre is one of the most widely recognized
thinkers of existential philosophy
a movement of thinking that took form during the nineteenth century
fashined by indivudals like soren kierkegaard , friedrich nietzsche,
and fyodor dostoyevski

by indivudals including albert camus martin heiddegger and of course sartre

famously summarized the primary existential
principle with the
line, “Existence precedes essence.” Essence
here meaning the
qualities of a thing that create its purpose.
For example,
Sartre references how a paper knife is designed
with a specific
purpose in mind before it is made. And only
once it is given a
predetermined purpose and designed accordingly,
is it
manufactured into being. In which case, its
essence precedes its
existence.
With exception to itself, humanity does this
with nearly
everything it makes. As rational beings, we
create out of
reason. Even if the reason is to make the
point that we can
create things for no reason, we have merely
found ourselves in
the paradox of creating for the reason of
having none, which
remains a reason.
We exist with the innate desire for reason.
What we do. Who
we are. Why we are. And so on. And here lies
the beginning of
our existential problem.
According to Sartre and many others, there
is no
predetermined meaning or reason to human life.
There is no
authority figure designing us or our lives.
And there is no
essence to our existence prior to our existence.

but rather life exist for itself and beyond itself
it is tragically meaningless
whenever our sense of reason and logic confront this potential realization
to the nature of life including the most essential part of our life
ourself , appears to not  agree with the same order of reason
we can often find ourselves in a sort of existential crises
however sartre and the existentialists dont see this as despairing
but rather justification for living
if we are not made with the specific purpose prior to being
we create our purpose through our being
in other words only through the choices we make and the actions we take in life
can create who we are and what life means
"man" sartre  said " is nothing else but what he purposes , he exist only in so far
as he realises himself  , he is  therefore
nothing else  but the sum of his actions nothing else but
what his life is." the by product of this is
life's inherit meaninglessness isnt inherit freedoom
freedoom to choose who we are how we live and what matters to us
and here we experience the next round of our  existential problem

English: 
But rather,
life exists for itself, and beyond itself,
it is intrinsically
meaningless. Whenever our reason and logic
confront this
potential realization; that the nature of
life, including the
most essential part of our life, our self,
appears to not agree
with the same order of reason, we can often
find ourselves in a
sort of existential crisis.
However, Sartre and the existentialists don’t
see this as
despairing, but rather, the point of living.
If we are not made with a specific purpose
prior to
existence, we create our purpose through our
existence. In other
words, only through the choices we make and
the actions we take
in life, can we create who we are and what
life means. “Man,”
Sartre said, “is nothing else but what he
purposes, he exists
only in so far as he realises himself, he
is therefore nothing
else but the sum of his actions, nothing else
but what his life
is.” The byproduct of this; of life’s
inherent meaninglessness;
is an inherent freedom. A freedom to choose
who we are, how we
live, and what matters to us. And here we
experience the next
rung of our existential problem; the anxiety

English: 
or anguish of
choice.
With essentially an infinite potential number
of choices
and combination of choices for how to live
and think and be, the
anxiety of choosing properly can be rather
heavy. Ironically,
though, the choice we make here in reaction
to the anxiety of
choice is perhaps the most important choice
of all.
The easier, knee-jerk response to the anxiety
of choice is
simply just not choosing. To mindlessly assimilate
popular,
common templates and ideas of life, following
standard routes of
belief and purpose laid forth for us, and
deflecting nearly all
the responsibility of choice onto others and
the circumstances
of our life. However, Sartre referred to this
as bad faith. A
form of lying to our self and denying our
basic freedom. A
short-term attempt to dampen the anxiety of
being, that in turn
costs the potential loss of our true self
and true sense of the
world.
Even choosing to not choose is still a choice.
There is no
escaping the requirements of choice. Choice
can only be
minimized to choosing or not choosing. And
this is perhaps the
fundamental existential choice. To choose

the anxiety of  choosing properly can be rather heavy
ironically though the choice we make here, in reaction to
the anxiety of choice , is perhaps the most important choice of all
the easier knee jerk response to the anxiety of choice

Following standard beliefs and purpose laid for thrust
and deflecting nearly all the responsibility of choice onto others

English: 
or not choose. Fore,
in this choice, one either harnesses the anguish
of human
freedom or relinquishes it. Either builds
a life of intention or
lives a life of complacency.
We each have our little flickers of time here.
No one else
will ever know much, if any, of what it’s
like to be who we are.
And for the most part, no one will ever really
care. Our life is
ultimately our life, and so long as we are
not harming others in
the process, we must create a life of our
own meaning,
determining our own objects of importance,
committing to their
pursuance, and reaping the significance and
wonder of life along
the way.
Truthfully, we seldom have sufficient enough
information to
properly make any choice, including how much
we might agree with
Sartre, or anyone else. Throughout our life,
we are faced with
serious decisions about what we believe, who
we are, and what we
do. And mostly none of it is self-evident.
And if we look, we
will always find a reason to regret any decision
we make. Move
or stay. Agree or disagree. Take the job or
quit. Marry of
divorce. Live one path or another. In all
cases, whatever the
choice may be, we will only ever know the
outcome of the one we

take. And none we take will ever ultimately
resolve the
uncertainty of life. However, perhaps it is
less about getting a
potential course of life right, and more about
attempting to do
so with an effort of self-honesty and virtue.
To live a life
that can be looked back at with the knowledge
that some of our
decisions were perhaps wrong in their effects,
but right in
their intention of not selling our self short.
It is, of course, incredibly hard and complicated.
To
grapple with life. To consider the abstract
concepts of
existence and meaning. However, the challenge
found in this; in
the whirlpool of uncertainty, absurdity, and
responsibility, is
perhaps the unavoidable price of the great
gift that we all are
given at birth. But it is just that. A gift.
And to face up to
the abyss. To feel the anguish of choice and
potentiality. To
bare the weight of self. All are but visceral,
humbling,
beautiful reminders of the potency of life
running through our
veins. And perhaps our only job is to realize
this and make the
gift worth its price.
Agree with Sartre or not, ultimately, his
ideas are a

agree with sartre or not , ultimately his ideas
are reminder to do just that , to risk the easy and common place

English: 
reminder to do just that. To risk the easy
and commonplace for
the unique and great. To work towards our
full potentials in the
face of all obstacles, including our self.
To take
responsibility for our life and what we make
of it.
Ultimately, no matter what we do or say or
believe, there
will always be a great many who disagree or
judge or ridicule or
become upset by our decisions, but so long
as we are not
intentionally harming anyone else, it is of
essential importance
that we try as often as possible to ensure
that among those
people, our self is not one of them.
