"We come. We go. And in between we try to understand"

This quote by Rod Steiger speaks with the short-term nature of life. We enter this world with absolutely nothing and entrust nothing. In in between, we try to make sense of our lives and the world around us. We try to understand our purpose, our relationships, and our place worldwide. We strive to understand the turmoil and discover meaning in our lives. We look for responses to the concerns that plague us. We try to understand the good and the bad, the happiness and the sorrow. We come, we go, and in between we try to understand. Life is a journey, and we are all on it together. We can discover comfort in knowing that we are not alone in our struggles and that we can gain from each other. We can discover strength in our shared experiences and in our cumulative understanding.
