9. 26. 2016: potential objections to socrates" view of the good life. Sartre on the importance of the expression of freedom. Aren"t there moments where we want to express our freedom and have an impulse or urge and want to talk with someone. We"re about to try something but we just don"t follow through and get psyched out. We let ourselves down because we want to express something and we don"t end up doing so out of hesitation and fear, then we feel regret. We do small things like this and it adds up to a large amount of regret. When it comes to all kinds of decisions in our lives like careers and majors and clubs etc, we often have directions we want to take but we don"t for some reason. We only owe it to ourselves to take more charge in our lives and seize opportunities and live to the full according to sartre.
