Imagine living in a world that was black, white, apathetic, and overall meaningless. Keep in mind that life at this time was completely different. Think about how humans would represent life and how individuals would appear to society. Existentialists believe in the theory of existentialism that life has no meaning until it is given a purpose. Although everyone has a purpose in life; it's just a matter of finding out what the purpose is. Throughout the literature the authors use the theory of existentialism to urge humanity to consider the human condition that life has no meaning without purpose. Life is too short to waste it and let it pass. Every person on Earth has an equal chance of doing something life-changing, if humanity commits to it. To feel some sort of fulfillment, existentialists believe that putting purpose behind the scenes is up to the human being living that life. Philip Mairet wrote in his lecture that “…they reproach us as people who deny the reality and seriousness of human affairs” (Existentialism is a humanism). As a society we do not have the capacity to achieve the greatness we have as individuals. As a Commonwealth, we do not have an excellent track record in terms of sensitivity or emotionality. Instead, we judge them or make them feel uncomfortable. As a person, we do a fantastic job of judging and isolating other people around. As Philip Mairet says "...we are also accused of neglecting the solidarity of the human race and of considering man in isolation" (Existentialism is a humanism). However, when it comes to being affectionate, we ignore the emotion and isolate others because it doesn't interfere with what we see happening in or... middle of paper... the human condition and the impact it has on individuals, others they may be able to appreciate the purpose within them.
