Jean-Paul Sartre's Existentialism and Humanism pt.2
-----------
I am a great admirer of the many schools of thought when it comes to philosophy . However, I always find myself drawn back to NIhilism and (more recently) Existentialism when trying to explain/justify the meaning of life to myself. Taking for granted the idea that existence is meaningless is the closest I have ever come to really believing in anything in my life. On the bright side, if everything is nothing, then the world is what you make of it. The long standing question of free will no longer matters, and you can concentrate on creating your own concept of a universal philosphy of everything.......that is, if you want to waste your time that way :-)
