metaphysics is endemic

"In an age of change and uncertainty,

people ask profound questions,

about life itself, about suffering,

about death, about love and what makes life worthwhile.

 People seek assurance and light. 

They respond if they are presented with a unifying reality

which is in every way good, true and beautiful. ...

Without question there is a yearning

for unity among peoples,

 a rejection of whatever discriminates

or marginalizes others."

                                          -- Cardinal Basil Hume, A Turning to God
