Hell is … other people.

The late French philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre, whose birthday is today, famously penned those words! As an existentialist, he believed there was no such thing as a universal “human nature”, but rather, a universal “human condition”. He also believed in individual personal freedom, and that as free people, we’re solely responsible for all aspects of our own individual character, actions, choices, morals, beliefs, and consciousness.

I couldn’t agree with him more! I mean, HELLO? And have you READ all the things I’ve written about “mother THINGS” that (not “who”) torture, abuse, or abandon their own babies, “people THINGS” that abuse animals, or heard any of my rantings about women who bash on men?

So? What is existentialism, anyway, Cat, and why you tryina shove all this philosophy crap down our throats?

(… said no one to me EVER!)

Existentialism is a philosophy of human nature that identifies people as having the free will to determine the course of their own lives. It emphasizes individual responsibility to create meaning rather than relying on a higher power or religion to determine what is important, valuable, or morally right. While I don’t completely align with just one philosophical mindset, I suppose that I do align with some of this. As far as I’m concerned, “total freedom” is awesome, but it comes with complete and total responsibility, in which case, I am heretofore assuming all responsibility for the fact that, frankly speaking, some of you may have missed this memo:

‼️Un … Know … ME‼️

(… not that anyone really does or will)! Bye everyone, it’s me, CAT!
