18 Oct Existential Crises
The Danish Soren Kierkegaard, father of Existentialism, started this discussion.
“We suffer for who we are and for who we are not”, said the philosopher in his book “The human despair”.
When, after all, does dissatisfaction and anguish end with the very taste of existing? When watching the netflix documentary “The dilemma of networks” I felt a deep compassion for the contextualized story of teenagers addicted to social networks. year, it is important to stress that issues such as popularity, self-esteem, loving and being loved, meaning of life have always existed and have been a source of anguish in humanity. The problem is when networks treat us as products and increase anxiety and depression.
The illusion that young people live from likes and comments is the amplification of these old questions.
But I am not against the existence of networks, there is even excellent content on them. I watch the church live, the podcast on politics, the meditation video. But at the end of the day, after all this overdose of content and connectivity, you have to disconnect from networks to connect with yourself.
I use my essential oil, put my zen music on. Think zero and live another day.
