.."we fight wars, make love (or the other way around), incessantly exploit the earth’s manifold resources, speak approximately 6,600 different languages, compose magnificent songs, write captivating books, overcome chronic diseases, cause pain, relieve pain, ignore and combat poverty, take astounding photographs, make entertaining movies, narrate our daily stories in newspapers, mass rape and torture our species, prepare lifesaving food, get lost in rushes of adrenaline, dance until our feet hurt, sleep in countless positions, and raise our babies in a world of constantly contested sets of values that our ancestors already wrestled with over and over again. And then, in the midst of this simultaneously miraculous and horrific feast, there is this one essential question that keeps pressing so hard on our chests that it burns through all layers of skin and deep into the flesh of our hearts: What’s the point of it all?".
