Banach Response 2

Right now i'm on the train thinking about a birthday gift to get for my
bff's birthday. Now i just can't buy something, anything with out
thinking of it first. Now while thinking of this, i'm thinking to myself
is what i'm going to make her or get her and existence before it's
essence. Well I'm thinking of it, which means the thought of it is
causing it to exist. (Now i know what i'm going to make her, i can't say
it on here because she might be reading it =).) Anyway when i make her
gift, then it will grow it's essence. So therefore when Banach states
how Sarte believes "Existence proceeds Essence", it's a true statement.
How would it be possible for the gift to get it's nature, traits and
colors if it was just a thought.

Furthermore, the statement to me seems to make logical sense because as we grow as individuals, we still learn more about ourself. Everyday we take in something new and either change it, or expand from it. As for myself, i'm still finding out who i am. I was always the type of person to never take criticism well because i felt others were going against me or i thought they were wrong. Now will someone say that's my essence? I believe not because as of now, i adore criticism because instead of thinking negative about it, i take it in and learn. How else will i develop if you keep telling me something is good? I will never have a challenge. So can you say that's my new essence? I'm a human being (existing) still, developing things about myself (Essence) which proves Sartre's perspective.

Now i changed my view of criticism after realizing how great of an impact it can be rather then a negative view. The way i am is by observing what i see and determining if i like or dislike it, or if i should value it more or less then something else. Therefore i do learn from others but i wouldn't say they make me who i am. At the end of the day i'm the one making the decision, so i do agree when he states sarte says, "Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself." This reminds me of people who are always blaming something on someone else. No one told them to make the decisions they made. Your life is how you make it. There are people who have had bad child hoods but that doesn't mean you need to do the same the same to your child. Your life is how you make it! Simple.
