I am condemned to freedom. I am not free because I can make choices, but because I must make them, all the time, even when I think I have no choice to make.
Jean-Paul Sartre
L'être et le néant (Being and Nothingness)
L'être et le néant (Being and Nothingness)
FREEDOM as Being - this is man's damnation...
ReplyDeleteAn existentialist blogger?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder. ;)
Kaloy: then again, one can chose to view the concept of choice as a galss that that is half-empty, or half full.
ReplyDeletebut i'm being a slave to choice here, am i not? :P
ps. thanks for passing by and leaving a comment! don't be a stranger :D
Guy: it's a brain fart due to lack of sleep.
i ought to hit the sack. zzzzz ehehehe
Eternal: Yes you are, inasmuch as we all are slaves to making choices... LOL! And even if we view it positively, we shall be burdened to choose eventually - even NOT CHOOSING is inevitably a choice is it not? Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome. Asahan mo basta si Satre... Hehehe.
buntis ka?!!! nagpa-abort ka ba?
ReplyDeletethe irony when one does nothing: either he is a coward..or perhaps the opposite...
ReplyDeleteKaloy: some people view existentialism as a tad bit gloomy.
ReplyDeletei say it's realistic ;)
ps. you're welcome :)
Dabo: gagah, existentialism ang pinag-uusapan dito, di pro-choice ahahahaha
Geek: but action, or in action for that matter, boils down to choice, does it not? ;)
hmmm..carrie, help! paki explain nga sa aken ito! bwahhahah :P
ReplyDeleteSoltero: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteapparently, this is of the most illusive fallacious form.
ReplyDeletehowever, still profound.
(wv: masking)
Yas: aw. it's sartre's words, not mine.
ReplyDeletebesides, i really doubt if i could ever come up with that kind of brain fart.

Ternie, you did Kaloy? Hahahaha. Ayan ka na naman, teh. Choz!
ReplyDeleteSoltero, transliteration, verbatim:
"Ako'y sinumpa sa kalayaan. Hindi ako malaya dahil kaya kong pumili, kundi kailangan kong mamili, sa lahat ng oras, kahit sa tingin kong wala akong mapili/mapagpilian."
Parang kaparusahan baga ang kalayaan. Hindi ito isang kapangyarihan na nagbibigay-kaganapan sa buhay ng tao, bagkus ay isang hatol na dapat gampanan ng isang tao.
Maligayang Buwan ng Wika sa Inyong Lahat.

ReplyDeleteAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Carrie: Nope, he did not do me... at least not yet. Hehehehe. (insert naughty grin here). Panalo yung translation - iba talaga epekto ng Pilospiya kapag nasa Filipino na. While the grasp of meaning may be the same, its cognition and more importantly, subsequent appreciation is best had in Filipino... (Ngak - parang ironic ung statement... Hehe. MBNW din sa lahat.)
ReplyDeleteEternal Wanderer,
ReplyDeleteI was a young boy when I first read Sartre's works.
"Existence precedes essence."
So which is which?
