In existentialism, an individual is defined by thoughts and actions, rather than by any state of being. Furthermore, the freedom that man has is not a source of relief, but rather the source of anxiety. This paper first examines how a couple of authors choose to define existentialism. It then looks how the life of the paper's author would be impacted if she chose to embrace existentialism as a way of life.
From the Paper:
"The second relationship that would be affected if I were to embrace an existential philosophy would be my relationship with my boyfriend. Right now, I approach our relationship with the idea that my role is to give as much love and understanding to him as I can. I do not question his motives for being in our relationship, but take the love he offers at face value. However, if I embrace existentialism, then one thing I have to contemplate is why my boyfriend wants to be loved."
