Authenticity Is a Creative Process of Creating One’s Essence
The pillars of existentialism are freedom and authenticity./nAuthenticity is a process of creating one's essence./nAuthenticity is not a fixed state, but a continuous creative process./nCreating authenticity involves embracing freedom and making choices about one's identity./nAuthenticity is not determined at birth, but is developed throughout life./nIt is never too late to start thinking about one's freedom and who they want to become./nAuthenticity is a personal journey that each individual must navigate on their own./nUnderstanding the concepts of freedom, choice, activity, transcendence, and authenticity can help raise consciousness and guide individuals in discovering their authenticity./nBoveois provides guidelines and important insights on authenticity, but ultimately, it is up to each person to find their own authenticity.
