The Bushman storytellers talk about two kinds of hunger.They say there is physical hunger, then what they call the Great Hunger.
That is the hunger for meaning.
There is only one thing that is truly insufferable, and that is a life without meaning.
There is nothing wrong with the search for happiness.
But there is something great - meaning - which transfigures all.
When you have meaning you are content, you belong.
