Dark Times Ahead

Is the world falling away from me, or am I falling away from the world?

Who's holding the driver's wheel? Definitely not me.

Am I stuck in a quicksand? Or am I moving at full speed towards oblivion?

. . . . . .


Great. I'm entering another Dark Age again. Like how I was before I found Christ, and another one before I found Kierkegaard.

Excuse me as I disappear/go into hiding for awhile.

Dark times ahead.

hey thom,

I've plunged into existential despair as much as the next guy, but have you thought about the root causes of your depression?

Meaninglessness? Bad friends? Studying/Working with something you hate? Guilt?

Being alienated from the church you grew up in can be hard, depressing, and very lonely. In my experience, you'll stay that way until you've put the work into finding truths and ideals that you yourself are passionate about, ones you could live or die for.

Just some thoughts... I hope you are freeling better.
