The fatigue and disappointment of a large segment of people from the rapid draining of life in terms of the values that once nourished it is now apparent.
The Western person's resort to all kinds of teachings of exotic origin, religious sects, pagan cults, or systems of "meditation" indicates, before anything else, their thirst for meaning; a meaning that today’s variations of science-centered rationality are unable to provide.
What is presented as values in today’s Western world - money, power, planning, information, spectacle, consumption - rather than giving meaning to our lives, make us forget that there is a life with meaning.
The teaching of the great Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein carves out (...) a difficult, yet certain, path between nihilism and the nostalgia for values that have been irrevocably lost.
