It’s not always easy to distinguish between existentialism and a bad mood.

God desires that man should be. God does not wish to be alone. The meaning of existence is the conquest of loneliness, the acquisition of kinship and nearness.

We are, for all our polish, of littlestature, and, as human lives,compared with authentic martyrs,of no account.

Perhaps the Creator of this strange place knows us better than we know ourselves. Perhaps humanity was meant to eternally ponder the purpose and importance of our own existence. If we were assured of either,...

Take it moment by moment, and you will find that we are all, as I’ve said before, bugs in amber.
