“Need to know” This isn’t actually true. Some people seem to glide through life completely immune to existential angst. In a lot of ways they are to be envied. For the rest of us, we need to know we made a difference - our kids, our career, our community, our God, whatever - that it wasn’t for naught. The question of “why are we here” will probably never be answered, so we need to look for meaning and know at some point that we lived with a purpose. And it wasn’t shit. — Hugh MacLeod.
