It's just one of those days... tired, ill, and existenially concerned. "This too shall pass," my grandmother always used to say. Pretty wise in the remembrance department.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_humanism "Existential humanism is a concept that can be understood in several different ways. Sartre said "Existentialism is a humanism" because it expresses the power of human beings to make freely-willed choices, independent of the influence of religion or society. Kierkegaard suggested that the best use of our capacity for making choices is to freely choose to live a fully human life that incorporates traditional human structures such as marriage. Camus, in his book The Plague, suggests that some of us may choose to be heroic, even knowing that it will bring us neither reward nor salvation, and Simone de Beauvoir, in her book The Ethics of Ambiguity, argues that embracing our own personal freedom requires us to fight for the freedoms of all humanity." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_crisis "Existential crisis, derived from existentialism, is a perceived sense of harsh confrontation experienced when a human confronts questions of existence and a change in one’s subjective perception of their relation to their world.An existential crisis can result from:
- The sense of being alone and isolated in the world;
- A new found grasp or appreciation of one's mortality;
- Believing that one's life has no purpose or external meaning; or
- Awareness of one's freedom and the consequences of accepting or rejecting that freedom."
