Interestingly, when I write on Sartre, my language becomes almost as convoluted as his. Maybe it's some weird innate feature of philosophy? Or at least of his philosophy?

"One key point in the section entitled “Possibility” is the notion that the possibilities available to a person are dependent upon that person to sustain them. The possibilities that I am considering become my possibilities, and they have no existence outside of my conciousness. To mantain one of my possibilities, it is neccessary to maintain a self or essence that in turn maintains the possibility, that continually recreates the possibility as my possibility."

That is my opening of my 1 page response paper that I'm working on, and it's likely to just go downhill from here...
