Love this kōrero. Persistent existentialism/nihilism serves some musical genres beautifully well, but not most humans. If we think about most 2-3 year olds and their propensity for unlimited joyful, colourful exploration, understanding the full gamut of emotions, (and secure loving attachment through generations) in the world, why wouldn’t we want that for each other. #TeamColourfulBeingAndEverythingness
I am fan of existentialism as a concept. But I try not to let it be the only lens through which I view life. It can be a persistent and seductive view because it is so reductionistic. All roads lead to the same end. Nothing matters. So why bother? Like you, I prefer a richer life, warts and all. And it's interesting that my autocorrect tried to change warts to hearts. And it just did it again. And again :)
