Dallas Willard

Who are we humans? What are we supposed to do? Surely life is for more than just surviving, or mastering nature and other human beings. Why are we here?... Some of us find relief from the angst through identifying with .. social movements of one kind or another. Some may resort to the dogmatisms of politics, science, or religion. Our bumper stickers .. may bear symbols and slogans intended to inform others as well as ourselves that we are very sure, thank you, of who we are and what we are doing and how we feel about the whole idea of being on this planet. But it's all empty bravado, a nervous whistling in the dark of our ignorance and uncertainty about our real nature and our real task in life.
