Hey all. I read over my previous Human Condition article and thought it was time to revisit the topic. This is really important so I want to strike up the discussion further.
THE BASICS:
i. The human condition is a collection of the universal struggles of mankind.--everyone is battling these things
ii. The Human Condition consists of 4 parts:
1) Inevitable Isolation - We constantly go in and out of being alone to being with other people
2) Fear of Death - Everyone dies eventually and all things come to an end
3) Unquenchable Curiosity - Life is full of mysteries and sometimes there aren't answers
4) Desire for Purpose - We want everything in life to have meaning
iii. Without knowing it, all of our motives and desires stem from the human condition.
ADVANCED:
i. The human condition is only resolved through finding closure.
ii. closure is the resolution to be happy with what we are given.
iii. most religions and belief systems focus on finding closure for the human condition, even though they might not directly state it.
