The human condition. What does that mean, “the human condition”. I guess it’s just living. Being alive in the world. The fact that we are given life without asking and then we take that life for granted. The fact that we treat life as something we have to do everyday. I think that the human condition is built off of struggle. The general human struggle that we are a part of nature and yet we live in a society that is so unnatural. The “human condition” is having to live our lives in a reality that we are told is real. The human condition is based on the instinctual belief that we are all a significant individual versus the factual truth that we are just one of an uncountable numbers of planets just floating in space. It’s the desire to be something versus the insecurity that we are nothing. The human condition is man’s struggle with himself. The human condition is that when a person is left to his or her own devices they can still find an opponent within themselves. The human condition is simply the constant struggle that humans live in. The struggle that we constantly create obstacles when there are none.
