Jean

Jean-Paul Sartre's Existentialism posits that individuals are not born with a fixed purpose but instead create their essence through choices and actions. He views freedom as both a burden and an opportunity, leading to a feeling of 'anguish' due to the weight of responsibility. Sartre encourages embracing this freedom and taking ownership of one's life, even in the complexities of love and relationships.

Jean-Paul Sartre – The Existentialist’s Anthem

"Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself."

Imagine being thrown into the world with no instructions — no map, no manual, just you and your
choices. That’s Sartre’s Existentialism. He believed we’re not born with a fixed purpose. Instead, we
exist first — then define ourselves by what we choose and do.

For Sartre, freedom is a burden. You can’t blame fate or God — you are responsible for creating your
own essence. This can be empowering or terrifying. He called the uncomfortable feeling of freedom
“anguish.”

Even love and relationships are filled with power struggles. But Sartre didn’t want you to feel
hopeless — he wanted you to embrace freedom and take ownership of your life, like a true
protagonist of your story.
