“The human condition” refers to all the joy and suffering a person will experience, from birth to death. Yet, interestingly, the majority of the world’s religions, as commonly understood by the fervent, actually negate or de-emphasize the value of this life experience.
And those who cannot manage to cognitively sedate with religion, fame, or wealth feel deep depression from time to time. “(I) don’t know why i am crying, but it hurts so much” urges the need for an emotional balance between our perceptions of the outer and inner worlds-both equally authentic. Magritte's paintings of “The Human Condition” remind us that external and perceptional reality are equally false and equally true in our perception. Accordingly, cognitive behavioral theory seeks a constant adjustment between the overgeneralization and the undervaluation of our joy-pain and external-internal dilemma.
“(I) don’t know …” seeks to elegantly portray life’s joys (background) with our legitimate sorrow (the tear in the foreground, possessed with its quality of truth and beauty).
