Should Existential Questions Be Aroused in People?
Existential questions should not be aroused in people. Instead, people need to have their own preparation, where existential questions should awaken seemingly by themselves. There is a saying that if you place an obstacle in front of a blind person, then you commit a terrible crime, or if you put a stone or a tree in front a blind person, he will stumble and fall.
Regarding life’s most fundamental questions about its ultimate meaning and purpose, all people are blind. How can we then try to arouse existential questioning in them if they themselves have not awakened to it?
They have no answer to such questions, and thus raising them will only make them depressed. We should thus gradually reveal existential questions, i.e., questions about the meaning and purpose of life, when we know in advance how to simultaneously provide accurate and time-tested answers to such questions, which the people will find acceptable and desirable. Then such people will see joyful horizons opening up to them, and not dark ones.
