That my life is not predestined. That I have total control and create my own essence. It is awe and bliss and liberation. It is not answering to anyone but myself.

Existentialism is like any other philosophy that attempts to intellectualize our experience of the world. The secondary problem is that of formulating universal concepts -- a thrill for any philosopher.

to me, it means that each person, in a sense, creates their own life, they alone decide what is true, what they believe, what they accept from others in the world,,,,, your own thought or concept, is no less then a noted philosophers,,,,,it is keeping in mind that everything we are taught, was at some time thought up by another human being, just like you
