Odysseus, in addition to wanting to return to his family, wanted to end the foolishness of the Trojans (being that a Trojan had stolen Agamemnon's daughter, Helen) by defeating them in battle. Phil Zimmermann wanted to help people as a whole, and demonstrated this in twice being arrested for nonviolent anti-nuclear weapons protests.

In other words, he extended to people the right to free speech that ....

.... however vague, explains and emphasizes the idea that existentialism is merely an extreme societal interaction resulting from complete freedom in actions and choices, while simultaneously being engulfed in responsibility. Both novels, Invisible Man and The Stranger depict characters taking existentialism to an extreme. Differing, however, are the lives of such characters as invisible man adopts an existential way of life to realize self-worth while Meursault’s natural existentialism prevents him from realizing his mistakes until his execution day.

.... after the tractor. Had this man no respect for the souls he so violently cut over? The stone dropped ten feet short, and the man was oblivious to it. The girl, innocent and full of rage, dropped to her knees at her deceased brother’s headstone. The only way she’ll ever see him. Only one tear fell the whole night, though. She wasn’t as mad as she was blown away at the whole idea that, even though he was her older sibling, he’d always be preserved in time, like the granite above him, as a four-day-old infant.
