Some of us may find relief from the Angst through identifying with sports teams, rock stars, or social movements of one kind or another. Some may resort to the dogmatisms of politics, science, or religion. Our bumper stickers and T-shirts may bear symbols and slogans intended to inform others as well as ourselves that we are very sure, thank you, of who we are and what we are doing and how we feel about the whole idea of being on this planet. But it’s all empty bravado, a nervous whistling in the dark of our ignorance and uncertainty about our real nature and our real task in life.
