  • Good Old Days
    300 words

I would love to know what it would have been like in the 60's, but I don't think I would have wanted to live during that time.

  • Feeling Of A Non Changing World
    2,257 words
    Nauseated Strangers Existentialists mean that we can't rationalize, since we can't explain human fear, anguish, and pain. To rationalize is absurd, because in the final analysis, we will find nothing. Life is absurd. This leads to the term Nothingness. Thus, since we can't find a meaning of life more than what we attempt to create by ourselves, we anguish.
