The principle that I am most
drawn to is Sartre’s existentialism. My personal beliefs are somewhat similar
to those of existentialism. Existentialism basically says there is no God and
you are completely responsible for yourself and your actions. It also says that
you have to accept that you are completely responsible for everything you do
you can’t blame others or God, because it says there is no God. I believe most
of that but it conflicts with my beliefs because it says that there is no God
and I believe there is. I could live according to both but I do believe there
is a God. For the most part I already follow most of the beliefs of
existentialism so it wouldn’t be too much of a change if I followed both
existentialism and my personal beliefs. I do believe that even if there is a
God you still shouldn’t use him/her as an excuse when you do something you
regret. People should think more about their actions and take more
responsibility for what they do. You should also not only do good things
because your religion says you should or for God or whatever your reason may
be, you should only do something because you want to do. You need to forget
about the idea of there being someone that you need to impress or there being
someone that you can blame.
