The Existential Issue of Responsibility and Meaning

Human beings have never recovered from discovering the future, unsurprisingly. It produces an existential problem: what do you do about the fact that life is suffering? So it's suffering contaminated by ignorance and malevolence. Not only will you make things worse because you're rant, you will make them worse because you try to make them worse. And so that's a hell of a thing to contend with, too. That can undo you. It can unglue you. I make you hopeless. It can make you depressedit can do far worse things than that,. You know, because it's the full weight of the world's suffering.
