The discomfort of freedom

In Huis Clos, Sartre emphasizes the difficulty of supporting the judgment of others on oneself; judgment subject to freedom, arbitrariness and bad faith of the one who judges. The Sartrean atheism, which excludes any third moral and normative authority, induces omnipresence of human relations, often conflicting, in self-construction and its value system. The ball of egos, jealousies, interests but also the dependence of individuals to the "social" recognition resulting discomfort, weakness and pain: "Hell is other people." In contrast to the deterministic theory of theological doctrines, it is hard for individuals bear the responsibility to give meaning to their life (and life) and navigate, without respite, between biased judgments of their counterparts. In Huis Clos, the atheist's vision is pessimistic. A bias that contributes to the demonstration and about that honors the intelligence of self-criticism (of existentialist theory) and understanding of paradoxes.
