Crisis of Meaning by Timothy Horgan

This afterword follows six short stories that eFiction India Magazine has published for me. They have been consecutively published in the space of six months, in Volume Three, Issues Two through Seven.

Spears and Beasts and Ballpoint Pens – November 2014
Always Rationalizing – December 2014
Sponsor a Disadvantaged Child Today – January 2015
Something from Nothing – February 2015
Good Food, Great People – March 2015
Bono and Green Day – April 2015

I wrote these short stories because I wanted to know why people have crises of meaning in the world of today. I hypothesized these crises to have come as a product of living in the physical environment of the post-modern age, the man-made environment of human development.

My theory is interesting.

In the post-modern times we live in, our biggest problem is totally paradoxical. It comes as the idea that there are no real problems. Thus people have crises of meaning because they have no opportunity to do anything of any real importance.
