The part of Existentialism that makes the most sense to me is the idea of living life for yourself, how you want. We can’t live life to please others because if we always do what other people what us to do, even when we don’t want to then we can never be happy. I feel like I’m not confused by existentialism anymore. Our discussions in class have really made a difference in how I understand it. The basics seem clear cut to me (not that I believe in all of them). I really don’t like the idea that we are alone in the world; that just seems super sad to me and really untrue.
