I’m just commenting to give you another data point (and to reinforce to myself what I’m saying): your quote about everything being okay, and the way you describe the general reactions, resonates strongly.
Some days, I think “everything is okay” and it just is. Other days I fall off one side into nihilism, and yet other days I fall off the other side into boundless optimism. Rarely do I settle into the knowledge that it just is, and even more rarely does the resulting acceptance or (cliche) tranquility linger.
I haven’t had words to describe this, so I’ve just been placing emphasis on certain words in phrases like “we just are” and “everything just is”, and hoping that people who’ve had the same experience have that resonate with them. Your examples seem similar but more precise.
These may or may not resonate, but either way, kudos and I’m very appreciative of your post.
