What I Think I Know

We don’t give much thought to the why questions of life

November 12, 2016 Nate

“When we progress along the trajectory we set for ourselves, we don’t give much thought to the why questions of life. But when we hit the target, and we are still not satisfied, the questions start to come.

“Who am I? Why do I exist? Is this all there is? If I’m so successful, why do I feel so empty?”

The Man in the Mirror, P. 37
