Is there some meaning to this life?

What purpose lies behind the strife?

Whence do we come, where are we bound?

These cold questions echo and resound

through each day, each lonely night.

We long to find the splendid light

that will cast a revelatory beam

upon the meaning of the human dream.

Those who would banish the sin of greed

embrace the sin of envy as their creed.

Those who seek to banish envy as well,

only draw elaborate new maps of hell.

Those with passion to change the world,

look of themselves as saints, as pearls,

and by the launching of noble endeavor,

flee dreaded introspection forever.

–Dean Koontz
