The Seven Components of Existentialism

There are seven components of existentialism. Explanation:

I often wonder what the meaning of life really is. How do the choices I make affect me and those around me? Do I really have the freedom to do what I want, without fear of alienation? Knowing full well that the choices I make may bring to light the awareness of my own mortality and yet keep me free from despair, will automatically affect the choices I make. My identity is so closely intertwined with those around me that it is impossible for me to make any choices solely for myself. Therefore, I do not have freedom of choice. The meaning of my life is the freedom to do the right thing for all those for whom I am responsible. I do, however, have the freedom to look back at what I said and realize the inauthenticity of it all.
