RE: Existentialism: The Philosophy of Freedom and Personal Responsibility
"The fact that a person doesn't end his life means he chooses to continue living and be alive." This is to say that the absence of one thing is presence of another. Specifically that inaction equals action. This cannot be true. Especially when you consider that self-preservation is a biological imperative, which precedes conscious thought.
People have committed suicide. So yes, I stand by my statement. Each individual, by refraining from suicide, chooses to go on living and be alive.
