Week 6: Java Philosophy: Existentialism, Kierkegaard, and Jean Paul Sartre (post 1)

This video starts off with an interesting quote that states, " I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations--one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it--you will regret both" Soren Kierkegaard. This to me means that no matter what you do in life or do not do, you will regret it either way. If you do somehing dumb you will regret doing it, or if you do the right thing and maybe get punished for it, you'll regret it. So, to me I believe that no matter what you have done in your life, it's ok because at that time that you did make the final decision to do it, it was because you really wanted to do it. You may look back on it later and regret it, but it was set already for you and you did it.

Another quote that was stared in the film was, "Everything has been figured out, except how to live" I liked this quote the most because it is really true in so many levels. In life some people learn to just go with the flow and see where it takes them. We never know where life will bring us or where we will end up in the end, but that is the fun of life. Not knowing is a good thing and that helps us live life to the fullest and sometimes the unknown is the best way to see life. No one comes out alive in the end and we should have fun and be ourselves throughout life, like in the video there are students who are just having a great time hanging out together dancing and just chatting and they are enjoying there time. Some things are set and permanent and some things have wiggle room and it's what we do with that that makes us human.
