What am I? Am I an existentialist? A nihilist? A theist? An agostic? An atheist? Or a deist? I believe that I am a existentialist. An existentialist is someone who believes that they as a human are responsible for the choices and the events that occur in their own life, and no higher power would have anything to do with it. Existentialism stresses that people are entirely free and therefore responsible for what they make of themselves. I believe that I did not change my point of view from the beginning of this year. i have always believed this way. I believe that as i begin to evolve as a human been, I may start to view things very differently. I may start to believe in fate, and the idea of karma. Because, as life changes, different things may occur, and karma and fate may sound like a reasonable answer. But as of now, I stand very strong on my point of view. When I am 80 years of age, I believe that I will be an even stronger existentialist, because when you are that old, you have experienced many things in your life, and it would make more sense to blame all of these events on yourself, and not a higher power of any sort. Especially if I would have to live through a tough life, there would be no one to blame but myself, and the other people in my life. Not any sort of higher power.
Why am i an existentialist? I am an existentialist, because I believe that no matter what happens in your life, you and only you are to blame for these events. Weather it is good or bad, no one else should take the blame. I don't necessarily believe in a "God", however I do believe in some sort of higher energy, but not a higher "power". I believe that it is ridiculous when people blame many of the bad things in their life on "God", even though we have no concrete proof that this person named God exists. I am the type of person who needs hard evidence to believe in something, and until i find this evidence, my point of view will continue to stay as an existentialist.
