The Meaning of Life
What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life altogether?
To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense, then, you ask, in putting it? I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.

Freedom from Compulsion
For years I craved food. It was my escape from reality. It stopped the pain, loneliness and anger - for a moment. It felt good. Eventually I began to feel bad - but I could not stop. I was addicted to sugar. My freedom was being exchanged for doughnuts!
I heard a man talk about his compulsion around cocaine and gambling. I asked how he managed to abstain and he replied: "Talk about it, a day at a time!" Today I am compulsive about getting well, and I talk about my disease every day. The price of freedom is vulnerability. God is in the risk. I have taken it.
