SARTRE

It’s curious to see that “Hell is stupid people” by Savant up the top there. As I’ve recently been frequently referencing Sartre’s original and often misused quote “Hell is other people”. From his 1940s play ”No exit”.

It’s common for people to presume that Sartre was saying that we’re surrounded by tedious idiots or whatever.

But what #Sartre was actually saying is that one of the challenges of existence, is that we have to come to terms with the fact, that we are being persistently *interpreted by other sentient individuals.
