What does sartre call the idea that people should only be concerned with what they can control or what directly affects their potential to act?

Despair

Despair, in Sartre's philosophy, refers to the attitude that the existentialist takes when observing the things that are beyond his control. It is the realization that, whatever our plans might be, they might be thwarted by other people and external events. Therefore, the way in which we face the world is one of indifference. We try to control our own actions, while realizing that the external world does not submit to us. We cannot rely on anything that is outside of our control.

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
