The philosopher Andrew Taggart believes that crisis moments lead to "existential openings" that force us to grapple with the deepest questions about life.16 He argues there are two typical ways this happens. One is the "way of loss," when things that matter are taken from us, such as loved ones, our health, or a job. The other path is the "way of wonderment," when we are faced with moments of undeniable awe and inspiration.

Humans are so weird. There are so many ways to live life. There are infinite triggers. They are endless curious humans and kind souls. There are also many authoritarians and idealogues. It’s a beautiful mess.
