Re: Hey!
We live in a world of other people, who can capture them within their gaze, reducing them to his/her external materiality. We make our own measure, call ourselves hero, coward, nonentity, fool, idiot etc. And then, at last, we will transport the balance sheet of our life after our death.
We will remain, as long as we live, within the circuit of nothingness and emptiness of consciousness. We will need to choose and therefore will always feel anguish, the shadow cast by our own freedom. These exemptions help us make who we are. This immunity gives us gifts and mistakes but when we make slip, we try to quit. We will try to escape the anguish and disappointment through dreams of necessity, destiny, and determinism. i.e., we will be, because we must, the Bourgeois, the Feminist, the Worker, the Party Member, the Frenchman, Canadian, or Pakistani who must do what he/she must do.
All such roles represent flights from our own freedom into some conditioned world in which action is prescribed. They are no more successful than the other dreams of completion for the self and represent what he called “bad faith”. We don’t decide life as it decides us, chooses us and reaches destiny. We must not quit this world as it teaches us to survive in every condition, be it happiness, sadness or shock or you leaving but I must say ~Whispering Death~ , don’t do it. ![]()
