- content: The truth is that we are only potentially homo sapiens. We are set apart
- from the animals precisely by the fact that we are born without any clear guide
- as to how to deal adequately with the problems of our human condition. The great
- marvel and misery of humanity is this capacity for bewilderment. This is not, of
- course, to deny that human being have instincts; it is to affirm the fact that each
- of us is required to find our own non-instinctual answers to the problems of life,
- free and happiness (instinct is silent in the face of all the above questions).
- The sum total of answers we give to the problem of our relationship with the universe,
- we call religion.
