perhaps

      Perhaps I over stated my case in my last blog, kind of what Sartre did. Sometimes humans cannot control their emotions. I know this from first hand experience. Chemical imbalances in the brain can cause depression, and cannot be controlled. Although I still do believe that humans choose to feel things, some things cannot help but to be felt. I think that humans can also choose not to feel things, again, the depressed feeling of numbness cannot always be helped but to be felt, I think that humans can also choose to block things out, to be numb. I think that needing to block things out and not feel is as much a part of human nature, as feeling is. I think that as much as humans love to feel, too much feeling can lead to an overwhelming feeling of pain, or too much doubt in happiness. I think that it is part of human nature to block out emotions and feel numb in order to control emotions, especially when they are strong, too strong. As much as humans love to feel emotions, humans need to not feel, or block out feelings to keep themselves sane.

A choosing nature

     It is not only necessary in like to make choices, but it is our nature to do so. I think that it is our nature to want to do what makes us happy, or to decide on our own terms what to do or how to do it. I think that humans are always looking for an adventure, an alternate rout, a different way to explore the world. And with that we are constantly choosing what to do and where to go. I think it is human nature to sometimes pick the decision that has more negative consequences in order to feel emotions that we don't often get to feel. We choose to let people close to us and break our hearts because the experience is exhilarating and new. The pain we feel in heartbreak is no doubt awful, but it gives us experiences, and proves that we lived and experienced something that some may not get to. We choose to heighten our emotions feel things more that we really need to. I think that enlarging our emotions more than we need to is part of human nature. We choose to feel things more deeply in order to simply feel something. Humans enjoy having emotions. We choose to have them, acknowledge them, feel them, and explore them. So why is it human nature to choose? Well I think it is because it is human nature to want to feel and have emotions.

Never right, and Never left

     There is never a right answer. Just like there is never a full truth. There are simply thousands of ways one can chose and explain things. People tend to blame their choices on external factors. They blame it on the alcohol, on morals, on teachers, parents, basically anything other then themselves. But intimately it is you and only you who made the choice. You chose not do a homework assignment, not because your teacher don't care, or your parents will never find out, but because you simply chose  not to do it. It's kinda hard to think about making a choice with the absence of external factors or without morals, but that is what Sartre implies what happens. I think that it is exhilarating and scary to think that we make decisions based  on nothing other than ourselves and not outside factors.
      We can say that morals have something to do with the decisions we make, but how is anyone to say that your morals are right or wrong. And with that, someone can not say that you made a wrong decision. This means that a decision can never be wrong or right, it is simply a decision.

Free?

    According to Sartre we have no chose but to be free. But is that really freedom? It seems like that isn't truly freedom. Its a bit of a contradiction. You are completely free, but you have no other choice to be free. You are not allowed to not be free. It seems simple and almost obvious to have complete freedom. But then again, freedom means having choices, but you can't choose to not be free, you have to be free.
     According to Sartre, slaves were free, and I guess if you think about it, they were free to leave or not do the work assigned to them, but that was at the risk of death. So, yes they had a choice, they had the freedom to choose, but that also meant that they had to choose death or life under another person. I guess that seems so abstract because of the American idea of freedom isn't about choosing death or slavery, but about choosing your own path and thoughts and actions.
