Working to establish a more comfortable style of survival has grown to feel complete in and of itself as a reason to live, and we've gradually, methodically, forgotten our original question … We've forgotten that we still don't know what we're surviving for.' Out
In this passage, the author reflects on how the pursuit of a more comfortable way of life has become an end in itself. People have gradually lost sight of their initial purpose and the deeper reasons behind their efforts to survive, focusing instead on comfort and security.
Redfield emphasizes that despite our advances, we remain unsure of what truly gives meaning to our existence. The question of why we are surviving remains unanswered, suggesting a need to reconnect with our original purpose rather than merely seeking comfort.
