existential xmas




  • Why is there so much suffering? And can it be reduced?
  • What is the source of mental chatter and of human urges?
  • Why bother getting out of bed in the morning?
  • Where is the boundary of ‘I’ and of ‘Us’?
  • What are other people good for?
  • Why should we take care of the physical environment?


  • Why did the Big Bang happen? What was before?
  • What is the purpose of the big things - the cosmos, the universe, the solar system, the planet, life in general, humanity, and my short life?
  • What is the purpose of the little things – organs, cells, molecules, atoms, sub atomic particles etc
  • What drives evolution?
  • How long before our sun and its solar system cease to exist?
  •  
  • Who asks these questions and why?
  • How does language restrict and pervert the questions that we can ask and answer?
