Why are we so drawn to epic heroic fiction like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings?
What does that say about us? Does it give clues as to our origin? Can this arise from random interactions of atoms?
Something within us says, "This is right." "This is worthy of our lives." The noble way is a real road.
We desperately KNOW to give ourselves to a cause greater and grander than ourselves. To be a part of a heroic cause. We crave the transcendent.
We may try to deny it, but we are drawn to purpose as a moth to a flickering candle flame. Perhaps, though, it is the flame that comes seeking us - like God approaching the bush with a purpose for it.
