In a way Simone de Beauvoir was indicating her wish that all humans would be conciously responsible for the choices they make in life. First that they may have no 'bad faith' in that they felt, and were, free enough to not lie to themselves, or be influenced by society. And then that this led to a transparency of thought and action that resulted in truth and thus responsibility for choices taken. It is a valiant wish, based on her existentialist leanings, and one that can lead to angst and despair, or one that can liberate.
I think over again my small adventures, my fears, these small ones that seemed so big.
And yet there is only one great thing... the only thing...
To live to see the great day that dawns, and the light that fills the world.
