Rick and Morty: A Portal to Existential Crisis

“To be, or not to be — that is the question”

We often fall into the illusion that reality is nothing more than a series of days filled with responsibilities. The best way to break free from this illusion is to lift your head from the turmoil of everyday life and look up at the sky. When we realize that our finite, unique lives are not the center of the universe and that our average 70-year lifespan is just a fleeting moment on the 13.7 billion-year cosmic stage, a profound question emerges: What is the meaning of all this?

If you have a satisfying answer to this question, you are fortunate. But if you don’t, if you struggle to find meaning and feel anxious about our finite existence, know that you are not alone. While it may not be a pleasant experience, encountering an existential crisis is one of the (unpleasant) possibilities that being human offers.

Rick and Morty is an entertaining show that delves into the meaninglessness of existence. I highly recommend watching it if you enjoy thought-provoking humor and exploring existential themes. This animated series combines comedy, science fiction, and philosophical ponderings in a unique and captivating way.
