Granted I am my own existence, but this existence is absurd. Everybody is here, everybody exists, but there is no reason as to why. There is nothing that structures this world's existence, man's existence, or the existence of my computer. There is no essence that these things are drawn from, since existence preceeds essence, then that means there is nothing. The theme of death follows along with the theme of nothingness.
Death is always there, there is no escaping from it.
To think of death, as everybody does sooner or later, causes anxiety. The only sure way to end anxiety once and for all is death. About Existentialism Existentialism allows for a lot of freedom in thinking that, to me, cannot be found in other philosophies. You can come up with your own conclusions, create your own answers. A piece of wood is a peice of wood, it's not a table or chair until somebody makes it a table or chair.
