I am creating a certain image of my own choosing. In choosing myself is choose man." He is saying that people create their own images of self and it is different for all humans. Sartre also says, "Man is nothing else than his plan; he exists only to the extent that he fulfills himself; he is therefore nothing else than the ensemble of his acts, nothing else than his life" (769). This exemplifies the point that man is the product of his actions and has complete control over his own life. The soul and personality that are given to a person do not limit him in his actions; the judgments that he makes depict the type of person that he is. Therefore t essence does not create the person, the person creates his or her essence. The belief that existence precedes essence directly ties into the fact that the atheistic existentialist believes in no god. They believe that there is no human nature and that humans are inherently free. It involves the realization that the choices and decisions a person makes not only affect the him/herself, but they affect everyone. .
Anguish is getting over the selfishness that has become very evident in our society. A person must make decision while looking at society as a whole. Anguish is being concerned with the impact of your decisions on others. Dealing with responsibility is just one form of anguish. A person must be responsible for themselves and others. Anguish that they feel does not dissuade their action, but "on the contrary" it makes them stronger, "it is the very condition of their action." This is exactly what is meant by the example of being a coward or being a hero. A person is not born a coward, but is a coward through continuing cowardly actions. Sartre saw anguish as a necessary component of life. It is what makes a person aware of their choices and responsibilities. .
