Freedom: is an essential principle of
existentialism, our freedom to choose allows each of us to transcend the
immediate circumstances of our life, we done. have to be victimized by
nature, others or self unless of course this freedom is underdeveloped or denied.
Responsibility: with freedom comes the assumption of full responsibility for what we become. Nothing or no one can be blamed for who we are. Freedom and responsibility are inseparable.People must accept responsibility for directing their own lives.

Choices: The comportment in which we live and
what we turn out to be are as a result of our choices.
Existence: One can distinguish 4 dimensions of
human existence, the physical, social, psychological and spiritual. On each
of these dimensions people encounter the world and shape their attitude out of
their particular take on their experience. Our orientation towards the world
defines our reality. The four dimensions are obviously interwoven and provide a
complex four dimensional force field for our existence. We are stretched
between a positive pole of what we aspire to on each dimension and a negative
pole of what we fear.
What
I love about this branch of philosophy is its flexibility. It acknowledges
our freedom to think , explore self subsequently arriving with our own meanings
.It philosophizes that the essence of human existence lies in searching for
meaning and purpose.Meaning in itself is however,not automatic.We
must seek it .We must trust ourselves to search from within and find our own
answers.In addition,life is not meaningful in itself; the individual must
create and discover meaning.
