Part two: what is the point of our existence

Where in our lives do we find our existence,

As David Banach argues that in our lives humans "existence comes before our essence", since before now we never had a purpose before this time, but since we as humans evolve from monkeys or chimps then our essence is to evolve and live on in different climates and terrains. after our essence has dried our now and our new purpose has been given to us by our own kind. he says that each person can choose "to identify" ourselves, but we as humans cant identify ourselves since we all have natural essence in us.

Our "freedom" is not the question to be asking about, but how each individual is tied to this world by invisible strings that we can never break apart from, like gravity. Each of us will never have any freedom not matter which way you think of it. as long as there is someone controlling someone else actions there is no freedom, it is how our society runs. the higher powers or "gods" like David said will restrict all points of freedom, since in this society you need a job to earn money and to live a good life style, and they "teach" us that we don't want to have a bad life style like those who live in the streets. then our"human nature" kicks in and makes us want to survive to what they taught us. he and all these other people might think that they have absolute freedom but my looking all around all his points are wrong and we will never have our freedom anymore as long as this society stands.

David also talks about how all these "objects" around us takes away our freedom but these objects gives us freedom, it just matters how each person use them, if they decide to use them. i feel that David just keeps saying the same points over and over again, since he talks about how if we "detach" ourselves from these materialistic ideal than we will gain freedom from out "inner self", but its all a lie. who knows that this world is what gives our individuality or not so i might be wrong but we will just have to evolve and find out as the essence of our lives.

Existential Imagination Homework One

While traveling we as humans observe and interact with different people, which builds and takes away our different individualism. There is no such think as "absolute individualism", as interpreted from David Banach. Each mind is different and by interacting with others you are "trying to understand" each other and taking away your own individualism.

"When you think of it, each of us is alone in the world." But even though it is true we all try and interact and to see whats in each others minds, we try and extend our knowledge pass our own skulls and thus adapting someones ideals and taking away our individualism. Each person has to be alone and not express their own ideals to others to separate themselves from the world and to stand out above the crowd. If each person in this world didn't talk to each other and just observed the world around them, they will have their own opinions, and no what others want them to think.

Even though this could be true, people can learn a lot from others by just watching what they do each day, and observe their behaviors. Then different ideals of how to lives or what to think about others, whats good or bad will affect a different mind. It all depends on how a person interprets it. In my opinion people have to be secluded from the world and to live alone with no other interactions but themselves to have true individualism.
