@misteramazingofficial: The reason for being is one of these five: (1) raw experience (2) fear of death (3) love of a Creator (4) hope for Kingdom Come (5) radical annihilation of the Other. The further one departs from (1), the more idiotic and worthless their thoughts become until they become little more than a slavish brute fighting ignorantly for the maintenance of their group. That is, the further one departs from experience, the further their life is already dead. This Heidegger calls fallenness in "das Man." This Sartre calls "bad faith." This Camus calls "philosophical" self-offing. This Freud calls the sublimations of the superego in group sentiment. This I call a living death.
