I am having trouble understanding existentialism. I need help. Please?
Suppose there is man, mid-thirties, bald, unmarried, with a limp. He wakes up every day at dawn, draws the curtains and looks out. It is going to rain today. He goes to the toilet and look at himself in the mirror, methodically brushing his teeth, thinking of taking an umbrella to work. He needs to pee, so he pees. He then gets into the shower and thinks of how there could be a storm today, probably he will get wet. He finishes getting ready and takes the umbrella as he leaves his apartment. On his way walking to work, it begins to rain. First gently, but then in a torrential downpour. He gets wet. He knew it was going to rain and that he would get wet. He looks at his watch. It is nearly time to be at work. He walks faster. He gets to work. At work the boss is giving him a tough time. His leg is hurting because of the rain. He takes some painkillers. It is lunch time. He goes to a park and takes his lunch. The sun is out, there is a warm breeze blowing in from the south. He finishes eating. He goes back to work. A few hours later, after his routine day at work, he gets home. He changes. He watches TV. He goes to sleep. He wakes up every day at dawn, draws the curtains and looks out. It is going to rain today. He goes to the toilet and look at himself in the mirror, methodically brushing his teeth, thinking of taking an umbrella to work. He needs to pee, so he pees.
