To be rooted in experience

Although I may not agree with the Existentialist way of thinking, I can say I appreciate the way philosophers in this teaching are going towards the importance of experience.  An existentialist would say that in order to understand human freedom or the purpose of life, one must search for the meanings through life.  What one believes is important in life will be the meaning of  that person's life.  I believe there's something magical in that line of thinking.  If you believe life could and can be one way, you should chase after that.  However, this theory could also favor  those who find evil meanings to be their meanings of  life.

Response to "Rejecting Sex Drive" - Corbin Brassard

I believe that Corbin is right, sex drive is a powerful influence.  Maybe not as strong as Freud believes it to be, but it is a factor of why we do some actions.  Society does seem to put a negative connotation on this idea of sex in society.  However, it may be because of  the vulgar way it is presented everyday.  IF sex was presented as more of a natural thing, rather than a vulgar action, then I believe that society would switch the connotation to positive.
