Q3: Without faith, how do you find meaning in life?

Patrick Julius answers: You don't find meaning in friendship, in family, in justice, in duty? You don't find meaning in poems, in raindrops, in flowers, in summer sunrises? How dark and lonely your existence must be if all the meaning in your life is only found in invisible intangible beings. I am surrounded by meaning, all the more poignant because it is fleeting. Life is a journey, not a destination.
