How silly of me...
This must have been discussed ad nauseum with others in the past. I only check in once in a while and I thought this was a newish avatar. To that extent, my apologies.
To those others who posted their most thoughtful replies, let me say..."Jesus, its quite difficult to post anything in this place for fear of vicious verbal reprisal." Although, I do enjoy reading them when written about other people, so keep up the good work?
As a means of making it up to you all, let me share some tidbits of insight from my favorite existentialist...enjoy.
“Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count on no one but himself; that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself.â€
“Anything, anything would be better than this agony of mind, this creeping pain that gnaws and fumbles and caresses one and never hurts quite enoughâ€
“Hell is other people.â€
“Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.â€
