"Everything we do is the result of a choice, and thus we are each responsable for everything in the world...our freedom consists in fact that we must choose what it means to exist and how we will continue to exist at every moment. Every situation is an opportunity that is either made use of or neglected. Hence every situation forces us to choose what we will make of it. in this sense we are free, but our freedom comes ultimately from the fact of our being as a for itself, a being who is thrown into this situation of being forced to choose at every moment. Hence though we are free we are also anguished - we are always having to make difficult choices and never allowed to shift the responsability on to others. Man being condemned to be free carries the weight of the whole world on his shoulders; he is responsable for the world and for himself as a way of being."        --          Jean Paul Satre
