There is a certain rootedness living in the past. The same would apply to “living” within ideology, one form of which, I would assert, is most forms of conventional religiosity.
We are all, I think, always seeking shelter from the wind. It both blinds us and comforts us.
This line of thinking, I suppose, roughly matches the Existentialist ethos. Where I would differ is in supposing, based on personal experience, that a deeper peace lies hidden behind the curtain, not meaninglessness.
Everywhere I look, though, I see comforting nests. I am realizing as well that pointing out these nests/cocoons, is a form of self important cruelty. They have a vital place in most peoples lives.
I have to wonder if Christ, whoever he was, erred in bringing a sword. In the event, a powerful new cocoon was created which we call the Christian Church, within which I would include its core theological claims.
