We are all on a journey. As we travel through this life we are at various times more or less aware of the nature of our quest. You will hear it described in many ways. Some talk about searching for their "purpose" in life. Others are trying to "find themselves." Many simply ask the question directly, "What is the meaning of life?" Quite a few do not give their search conscious thought or discussion but they reveal the fact that they are seeking just like the rest of us by the things they give their lives to in order to establish meaning in their lives: money, profession, love. Some seek meaning in destructive ways: alcohol, drugs, sex, crime.
A few have come to realize that the journey is essentially a spiritual one. Although we exist in a physical world we are, in fact, spiritual beings.
