With the end of the 1920s came the beginning of the Age of Anxiety.
People began to be preoccupied by the anxiety they felt about their existence, their culture, and their destiny rather than their superiority and their genius. Many lost faith, lost faith in humanity, lost faith in religion, lost faith in everything they had previously known to be true. Without religion many felt as if they were living without a purpose, this purposelessness caused suffering. Man was liberated, no responsibility to any higher being, no need to abide to the rules of anyone else. With this "liberation" came abandon, but with it also came loneliness, and a crushing fear. The rejection of everything previously accepted caused unrest and uncertainty.
