Life Crises
We demand that life must have meaning –
but it only has as much meaning
as we ourselves are able to give it.
Hermann Hesse
What could this day possibly bring?
It’s just another day, like so many others, which aren’t even worth the calendar page they’re printed on.
Slowly and unnoticed, your passion and vitality disappear: from your work, your relationships, and your life.
Can this be all there is?
How many more summers do you have, how many more times will you see a full moon?
You have accomplished so much, but you have also lost a lot – forever.
Why did it happen to my loved ones? Why me? What did I do? How did I deserve this?
Like death, loss and illness are a part of life. You didn’t do anything wrong, and you don’t deserve it.
There’s nothing you could have done to prevent it.
It just happened.
Who am I? What is the meaning of life? What is my task in this life?
What happens afterwards? Is it all just a game?
You will find intellectual answers to these crucial questions in philosophy, religion, and spirituality.
