Great post. That video is brutal. If I wasn't workfagging I'd be in tears too. Feels.
I experience the Dark night of the Soul damn near weekly. My favorite philosophers say life is absurd, we are hopelessly alone, we should dance with death and experience an authentic freedom with that knowledge… (Sartre, Camus, Kierkegaard - to a point.)
I found a way out that works for me… we are not hopelessly alone if we consider our source is Being (Heidegger, Sartre, Spinoza, Liebniz - sorta). We are Being and swimming in God.
The scar from our loss of our sight is there for all of us, I think we feel it more than others.
I've been a bad friend of the board in the past, decided recently to continue posting because this is a great outlet. I slid the Ego/Hubris thread really bad back in Feb/March. We all learned something, myself included. I don't mind being called a shill, I just try to be interesting. It clarifies my thoughts and I get a chance to share with people that get it. I have no one to talk to about these things anymore. Two friends moved far away, one great friend recently passed. Videos like this hit home.
Love and Feels all. Sorry Ra.
