“The French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre noted that, “Life is C between B and D,” meaning that the life we live is the choices we make between the “B” of birth and the “D” of death.”

In other words this simply means that our life is a choice between our Birth and our Death
I believe it all comes from within the choice of wether want to active greater in this life or whether we want to stay mediocre till the end of our lives.

I was reading Limitless by Jim kwik and found this gem . For a while I have been wandering what @Sartre mean and who was the guy in the pic. I'm glad I didn't ask and found by myself

Sartre believed in the essential freedom of individuals, and he also believed that as free beings, people are responsible for all elements of themselves, their consciousness, and their actions. That is, with total freedom comes total responsibility. He believed that even those people who wish not to be responsible, who declare themselves not responsible for themselves or their actions, are still making a conscious choice and are thus responsible for anything that happens as a consequence of their inaction. Sartre’s moral philosophy maintains that ethics are essentially a matter of individual conscience. Sartre reveals much about his own ethics in his writings about oppressive societal structures and the ways in which individuals might ideally interact with each other to affirm their respective humanities, but he is dismissive of any version of universal ethics. He is clear in his belief that morals are always first and foremost a matter of subjective, individual conscience.

I am bothered by average people who utter average things and are still talked about decades later. No shit, Sherlock. Just because a farmer didn't say this does not make it more profound. Put the pipe away and get over yourself, Jean-Paul.

Plus anyone with a hyphenated name, first or last, bugs me.

Have you ever read his quotes? He seemed to have thought he was brilliant. Which is fine in the internet age and I cannot promise you that I have never felt that way about myself, myself, but this many years later talking about this guy? I say enough is enough. This guy was not brilliant, period. He had a pipe and a black and white photo and people just assume since they notice his name that he must be special. He was not. He was just some dood with way too much time on his hands.

Actually, I guess I responded to the wrong question. My apologies.

That just genuinely bugs me. I cannot even put it into words. It just straight up bothers me. Anyone, especially women that I have ever met in my life that would even consider this has always bugged me. It is just my rule of thumb.

I follow my gut.
