EXISTENTIALISM

While going through the stages of life, an individual always expresses his personal truths in the actions he takes; this is existentialism. Every action the individual takes is existential because it is an expression of his personal truths, which derive from personal desires that are also the reason why the individual is alive, or his purpose. Existentialism is the individual's meaning as expressed in his actions. He can act aesthetically, for pleasure, ethically, for the benefit and protection of others, or religiously, for the benefit of God. Every action entails some greater end beneath one of these three categories.
