Everything in this world is relational. There is a given set of circumstances that we must all be able to deal with (Ex. our parents, what dna we get, what state we are born in, how we are raised, etc.). The basic state of humanity tends to be meloncholia (anomie). Usually because of those circumstances that we were born into. Life sucks! We cannot meet our basic needs without others. We feel empty if we do not have what we consider to be a meaningful existence with a purpose. However, we are born into this world alone and we die alone. Many of us feel alone even if we are around other people. So, if everything is relational and yet we feel alone then how can we begin to be able to tolerate that feeling and/or find meaning in life? Then, how do we be able to accept the fact that one day we will die? We all fear death but the fact that we are born and die is the only constant there is.
