A quote about anxiety, "Anxiety is there. It is only sleeping. Its breath quivers perpetually through man’s being.", leads thinkBuddha to meditate:
For Heidegger, anxiety is interesting because it shows us something fundamental about what it is to be human. This anxiety is not a fear of anything in particular, but more a general sense of being unsettled; it is a mood that makes us aware of our essential aloneness, of the fact that we are in the world without choosing to be and the only certainty that awaits us is death, a certainty that is nevertheless the most uncertain thing: which breath will be our last, our final breath?
Read the whole thing, but if you don't, his prescription is, read older news.
