I asked KGB what existentialism was and they responded with this" existentialism assumes that people are entirely free & thus responsible for what they make of themselves".
I agree and disagree with Banachs ideas. I feel like we are completely free to be ourselves . Whether or not we take advantage of this "freedom" is our decission. I think that we ,in this day and age, have morals. I think that our morals limit us in a way. So far what I've noticed about our morals ,is that most of them benefit the human race. Like not killing, that moral ensures that we live, punching people randomly would comprimise certain peoples happiness which is why we don't do it. Basically our morals optimize our experience as humans . We are still free to do what we want as long as we don't interfere with the lives of others.

I was thinking about what Barach said about "absolute individual" and I thought a good example would be the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". So like everyones view of "beauty" is different.

"Absolute individuals".... kind of like everyones alone in this world. No ones ever going to see the world the way you do. Your blue can be someone elses orange. In a way i kind of agree with Banach when he says " Each of us is trapped within our own mind,unable to feel anything but our own feelings and experiences". Its possible that everything that we see is just a bunch of "optical illusions" caused by are senses which decieve us!!
