Existentialism

Well, it's hard to argue against someone who hasn't made their own philosophy clear yet. But, I will explain mine. Existentiaism is a philosophical theory or approach that emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will. this really goes against many religious people as might suspect. We are told that, through most religious text that things are inherently right or wrong. In reality, that is not the case. Isn't it odd how for 4.1 billion years nothing was right or wrong until human kind came into existence? Hmmmmm. Is that just a coincidence or not? Well good and bad originates from the subject that defines what they want or desire as good or bad by their means. Say a person "wants" to help somebody. They help and like what they see. They deem it as good. Or say a terrorist killed many civilians. They like what they see and deem it as "good", while the others who are repugnant of the act seem it as "bad". And you know babies aren't born with the inherent ability to deem what is right or wrong. It has to be taught to them. See how different parents give different rules for their kids? What each parent deems as necessary or moral is subjective. Nothing has an inherent morality, value, meaning, or purpose. Life gives it to them. Even the smallest of life can give purpose whether it meant to or not. Water by itself is meaningless and purposeless. But! When a single celled organism comes into existence, it is one that requires water to survive. Thus, the water now has purpose and meaning. But, the meaning of things vitiates between everyone. I love my book and value it highly, while another person would see my book and not even pay it any mind not value it at all. We gave things value, not the other way around. We deem how much something will cost at a store, saying it will be at a value of "x" dollars. I'm pretty sure the material being sold didn't give itsef a value. And God didnt either, so don't argue that. Cause if you're gonna argue that, I got a whole list of reasons to disprove that. If you wanna see those, just post that you do. I will blow you out of the water Hahahahaha. But basically, the majority of the idea of the passage so far is moral nihilism. Nothing has inherent purpose or morality. We gave things purpose and made up morality. What do we do then? If nothing has inherent value, purpose, meaning, or etc what is the point of all this? Well reader, that is for you to decide. That's what makes existentialism so fantastic. It can be whatever you want. You can give yourself purpose, meaning, value, and decide your own morality even if it seems wrong to others. Nothing is inherently good or bad, so you can decide yourself. Like you can say murder is good. It's not inherently bad not good, though it is scary Hahahahaha. But basically, when it comes to abstract terms and morality, you decide how to live. "God is dead. We killed him". With God dead, the morality of his is dispersed. Now it's you to be God and decided right and wrong. Be the "superman" to realize this potential and harness your "will to power"; your drive to succeed in whatever field or portion of life you desire. It is within you to reach this! Do not let a will to ignorance drag you down! Do not let others decide for you with their bias! Individualism! Be you! Now I suspect that my opponent will come forth with "things do have inherent morality, purpose, and etc because "God" said so. But, know there are also different gods to tell right and wrong. Which one of those gods is the true God of a correct morality? How can we know for sure? Ask yourself this if he combats me with this argument. But, if you he wants to dwell deep into the existence of God, so be it. I will give logic and reason refuting his "god". But I will end with a short summary of what existentialism is: it's your life, you decide how to live. You decide what you value. You decide what purpose you have. You decide your own philosophy (isn't it cool? A philosophy that says to make your own philosophy! It's amazing!). You decide the meaning of life, whether it's negative or positive. It's to you to decide. Though there will always be consequences to your actions, those consequences that are given from people of a morality are the ones who also practiced existentialism! They decided what was right and wrong! It is everywhere my friends! But just know, it's all up to you. Nature does not define abstract thought. You do. Nature......let it's staggering splendor dominate the physical, and let you dominate your ego. It is to you reader. It is all for you.
