The Shack is now on my list. (tho perhaps I should not be thankful that the stack of books ever grows) Malaise. I've not thought of it that way. This reminds me of Ernest Beckers Denial of Death and Escape from Evil. From there I'm reminded of Sam Harris' End of Faith. Which due to it's tone I'm not too fond of. However I do love how Harris (unwittingly perhaps) stumbles on the systemic nature of good and evil...something which those whom I'm fortunate enough to know as friends have studied in their graduate work. I do believe there are times when some thing IS awry and for some reason there is not the language to describe it. I like Blink for this reason also. I'm guessing there are systems/nonsummative wholes that encompass certain modalities of being that lead to malaise. My thoughts as most usual are incomplete on the matter but as always keep the ramblings coming. Perhaps something will come of it. Thanks for the tip. The Shack is now on my list.

Malaise. I’ve not thought of it that way.

Sometimes I think my friends with kids are just be more distracted from those thrashing questions, but I think we all have them. Actually, the people that don't scare me. Lately, I've been in tune with how the quest to fill the void changes as I age. Pretty remarkable really. No, I’d venture to say you are not alone.
