The plague of existentialism - A most interesting quote

Before committing suicide, the distinguished Hobart Mauer gave interesting insight saying in the American Psychologists

"For several decades we psychologists have looked upon the whole matter of sin and moral accountability as a great incubus
and we have acclaimed our freedom from it as epic making. But at length we have discovered to be free in this sense to have the excuse of being sick rather than being sinful is to also court the danger of becoming lost. In becoming amoral, ethically neutral and free, we have cut the very roots of our being, lost our deepest sense of selfhood and identity. And with neurotics themselves, asking, "Who am I? What is my deepest destiny? And what does living really mean?"
