Our life, as individual persons and as members of a perplexed and struggling race, provokes us with the evidence that it must have meaning.  Part of the meaning still escapes us.  Yet our purpose in life is to discover this meaning, and live according to it.  We have, therefore, something to live for.  The process of living, of growing up, and becoming a person, is precisely the gradually increasing awareness of what that something is.  This is a difficult task, for many reasons.
