--kinsa to mga existentialist diha post mo ug mga existentialism quotes...hehe

"Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. Such is the first principle of existentialism. "
- Jean-Paul Sarte, "Existentialism"

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
- Blaise Pascal, "Pensées"

please click this link--- Existentialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ==Subsequent existentialist philosophers retain the emphasis on the individual, but differ, in varying degrees, on how one achieves and what constitutes a fulfilling life, what obstacles must be overcome, and what external and internal factors are involved, including the potential consequences of the existence[10][11] or non-existence of God.[12][13] Many existentialists have also regarded traditional systematic or academic philosophy, in both style and content, as too abstract and remote from concrete human experience.[14][15] Existentialism became fashionable in the post-World War years as a way to reassert the importance of human individuality and freedom.

We should never write ourselves off or see each other as a victim of various forces. It's always our descision who we are.

ot: guys unsa ng existentialism??

[yanong_banikanhon]

Kining existentialism, bay, mao ni term nga kasagarang gamiton anang pilosopiya/panglantaw sa kinabuhi diin giisip nga wala'y laing responsable sa kamabungahon ug kamalipayon sa kinabuhi gawas sa atong kaugalingon.

Matud pa ni Søren Kierkegaard (the father of existentialism):

The individual is solely responsible for giving his or her own life meaning and for living that life passionately and sincerely,in spite of many existential obstacles and distractions including despair, angst, absurdity, alienation, and boredom.

Para sa mga existentialist, dili babag ang kalisud, kalaay, kakapoy, kasakit, etc...Kasagaran sa mga existentialist dili motoo anang gitawag og destiny/fate (kapalaran). Alang kanila, ang tawo maoy nagmugna sa iyang kaugalingong destiny.

@yanong_banikanhon very nice definition...walay laeng responsable sa imong past ug way laeng maghimo sa imong future kundi ang imo ra gyung kaugalingon..."self makes the world go round..."
