Fragment
I'm pretty sure this sentence is a fragment, but I am not sure how to revise it. "When a person is faced with the paradox of believing that their life is important on the one hand while at the same time perceiving that human existence itself is without meaning or purpose."
People in Africa do not have existential crisis
That's a crisis of non-existence... someone in a country where basic infections kill a quarter of the population is not experiencing existential crisis when they worry about dying.
- of the average, you are probably right, This is a philosophical issue that might occur under the condition registered in the article. That said this does not mean people under harsh conditions do not ever experience existential thoughts. You can easily expand this idea to "People in Africa do not have music, DRM or advanced reaserch in biotechnology".
- I hope you see my point now. --Procrastinating@talk2me 14:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Sources? NPOV?
"The essence of who one is and why one exists is believed to have not been defined before birth" WHAT? BY WHOM? I've cleaned that up, put soem more links and put the article for general clean up. --Procrastinating@talk2me 14:25, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

citing references
Shouldn't that citation be at the top of the page? I think the "external links" area is fine without "citing its references or sources"...but that's just me. Filter1987 14:57, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

- I'm sorry. WHAT? --Procrastinating@talk2me 14:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Solipsism
Can anyone include some specific information about a crisis where one worries about solipsism. Isn't this a symptom of certain mental illnesses such as dissociative identity disorder, schizophrenia or obsessive compulsive disorder?

It was not "made up," but it was indeed non-notable and has been removed. I never published it. J Grambort 71.198.66.207 (talk) 19:21, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
