Embrace the Paradox of Existence
Human beings exist in a paradox of being finite in time and space while having the capacity to generate infinite possibilities. This tension can lead to anxiety, as reflected in the thoughts of philosopher Kierkegaard. A common reaction to this conflict is inaction, where individuals feel overwhelmed and question the purpose of their endeavors.
