Existentialism

[staggerspool]

I'm impressed. That was very profound and definitely gives food for thought. Thank you.
I think i'm at the point where all i see and experience is the suffering. I have to keep trying to find some goodness in life, to see it and to balance it with the suffering.

Thanks for good words. Sometimes it does seem like it is all suffering. One line I use when it seems too dark is "This too will pass." It also works if things are feeling good....

I went through a very dark period in my life years ago, best thing that ever happened to me, in the end. The key is to really be there with it.

Please look for the tiny little moments of goodness. I was rushing one day recently, eating breakfast in the bus line, not a fun moment. I noticed a couple of sparrows gathering nearby, and I woke up - started giving the birds bits of food, party time in the bus line!

Feel free to pm me if things are getting TOO dark.

I'm an atheist and a strict materialist - what you see is what you get.

For me, becoming an atheist was an existential experience. I marvel at the Magic of Reality. The fact that there is something rather than nothing.
