People with no time to think about their own lives may not be as bereft as we think they are. We cut free from the umbilical cord and get lost in our own belly button. Our search is not necessarily profound and tends to be narcissistic. Narcissism is not self love, often it is self abasement or self spite, but it is self absorption. There is no smaller package than someone wrapped up in himself or herself.
Meaning is a shared endeavor sustained by a shared enthusiasm.
In our lifecraft projects, Rev. Church urged us not to be perfectionists. Lighten up, but don't lay down your load. Through social outreach, service, witness, and action, be part of someone else's life. But retain a measure of awe and humility. Virtues can become idols and thus demonic.
