The Most Frightening Question
Existential quandaries often create confusion and terror in human beings. That is why life's "big questions" are best pondered in a peaceful state of mind. Nothing is more dangerous than an anguished Homo sapiens asking, "Who am I? Why am I here? What does it all mean?" In a state of emotional agony, the answers one receives to these questions will be distorted by one's pain.
