All Things Existentialism?

Maybe the only way to "solve" them is to "quit trying to solve them."

Simone was quite the oddball, like many existentialists, and she pretended to think that she knew not only how to make herself "happy," but how to make every woman happy. Most people in this world are quite happy with and found meaningful lives in the "family life" she desperately sought to obliterate.
 
I think U.G Krishnamurti said it best; "Tell them that there is nothing to understand."
 
When Eastern philosophy talks about "nothingness" and "emptiness" it's not the same as the Western concept. By emptying yourself or thinking about nothing, you can be "everything" so to speak. It's definitiely not the "fuck it all" approach of the western nihilist.
 
I think you weigh that to heavily, as par my interpretations and personal standings, when you empty yourself of everything you discover how you are connected to everything not be anything, not really connect to anything either really the best ways to say it is to be one with everything, when you stop abstracting yourself from everything.
 
Existence is an amazing paradox like that..
Simultaneous solipsism and interaction with actual other sentient cosms seem, to me, to build Consensus.
We all live in our heads, but we can see into other's, so we validate ourselves.
