Summary

This quote by Jean-Paul Sartre suggests that human beings are inherently born with freedom, but this freedom comes with a burden of responsibility. It implies that once individuals enter the world, they are no longer able to evade the consequences of their actions. They have the freedom to make choices and decisions, but they must also bear the responsibility for the outcomes that arise from those choices. In this context, "condemned" refers to the inescapable obligation that arises with our freedom.
