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.
. . .Courage, love, friendship,
Compassion, and empathy
Lift us above the simple beasts,
. . .And define humanity.

”Here is Edward Bear, coming down the stairs now;
Bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin.
It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming down the stairs,
But sometimes he feels there is another way,
If only he could stop bumping for a moment
And think of it.”
A.A. Milne – Winnie the Pooh
