Yes, the human species is mentally ill. Whether we make it or not is up for grabs. I have come to terms with the fact that we may destroy ourselves. But I will live the rest of my life, however long it is, working for a better world for all.
I have made the same resolve. Although I don't belong to any particular organized religion, I do keep a sort of faith (blind faith) that existence must have some kind of meaning. More along the lines of William James resolve i.e. "The Will To Believe" regardless of the dark mystery of my (our) existence. The faith is continuing on despite being blind to what is on the horizon.
I agree. I have a kind of faith in a creative power of the universe too that keeps me going. How can you watch a sunrise or a flower bloom or a bird fly and not see the intelligence inherent in nature. It came from somewhere. The human body is so amazing too. And that mysterium is what I cling to in these crazy times.
