Final Critique

Jean-Paul Sartre describes Quietism as the act of inaction; to be passive when faced with an indifferent and meaningless universe. Here is a human stuck within her own labyrinth of Quietism, unable to face the world and is only able to stare at the blank canvas. Time passes and there is still inaction; soon she is nothing but a decrepit and dilapidated statue. Her clothes start to disintegrate but she still stands there, fearing the consequences of making choices. It is this fear that many humans face, tapping into the primordial fear that perhaps that it is human nature to have no meaning in existing.
