“Is a life without searching for truth – an ordinary life – a life without meaning? What does it mean to wake up and live a life based on meaning?  Sometimes probing the past can make us realize what is missing in the present. Sometimes a tragedy, personal or universal – or a civil war — can unlock the door to a larger world view. Maybe all humans are ‘under construction.’ Palacios suggests that we have to wake up in order to search for the things that make life better – not just for ourselves, but for the good of all.”
