the price of a life

June 5-6, 2007

People long to be loved. But truly loved and so they might reject love over and over again in order to try it - see if it is truly love.

People long for meaning. This desire is usually eventually allowed to die from a quiet desperation and sad surrender to "reality" that there's not much to life (without so much as spelling it out, this is oft called part of becoming an adult).

And so then it usually becomes a living for oneself. Or a "good cause." A life is "devoted" (sacrificed/given) to things that are perhaps worthy in themselves, but too much is given to them. Lives, souls, are too high a price to pay for anything but the purest, truest, worthiest ideals and causes.

So what are these?
