One of the most important themes in existentialism is the fate of the individual in acquiring his or her answer to the meaning of life.
The French philosopher Jean-Paul Sarte declared our “existence precedes our essence.”
We are not born with a pre-established essence (a definition, purpose or goal) provided by some higher power or institution; rather, we must provide our own, freely chosen purpose to life. We exist first, and we then determine our meaning or essence.
