Abstract

The article is a reflection on the search for meaning, engagement, and hope in human existence to combat existential void, a "spiritual pandemic" of our time. The author advocates for a middle-ground position regarding the objectivity or relativity of meaning, recognizing humanity as relational beings whose faith in survival is grounded in love for others. Inner dialogue is essential for discovering truths and authenticity without anxiety or apathy.
