True. I think that dovetails nicely with what I was saying earlier - that people seek answers that provide them purpose.

Yes and that's what I feel we all really strive to, to have some purpose in our lives, and why not, it makes life a lot more easy, but, its when we believe our own purpose is the only purpose, that we stuff it all up, for ourselves and others.
