Being-for-others generates perpetual conflict as each self objectifies the other

Evidence

Being-for-others (être-pour-autrui). The third ekstasis (q.v.) of the For-itself. There arises here a new dimension of being in which my Self exists outside as an object for others. The For-others involves a perpetual conflict as each For-itself seeks to recover its own Being by directly or indirectly making an object out of the other. — Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and Nothingness, 1462
