Talking about philosophical theory, there is certainly one choice that you like the most that can change your outlook on life.
While the Essence represents the function, benefit, or definition that determines the identity of an object. Scissors, in the process of its birth, was initiated by an idea in the human head about a tool that could cut paper, or rope, or other objects practically. In that idea also arose the need for how these scissors could be controlled by hand, even with just 2 fingers.
So the concept of scissors has been defined, its function has been defined, and its form has been described even before the name "scissors" appeared. Here it means "essence precedes existence", where the function is first determined and then the form appears. Whereas humans have the opposite process. Humans cannot be determined by their function and value when they are born. No one can determine that a baby should become a doctor, poet, philosopher, or anything other than the baby itself. Here "existence precedes essence" — meaning that every human being has full responsibility to determine their value, benefit, or function in life.
So for me the task of every human being is to continue to define their essence either in deed or thought in every day that passes. At first glance it may sound like free will, but behind it lies the restlessness and need of humans to actualize themselves positively for life.
Sartre's theory enlightened me that first, philosophy is important, and second, life is far more important. He whispered to me that in this life it is not enough for humans to just "experience" but also be able to "be".
