Excerpt from Religion as Life IF one is to do justice to the breadth of human nature, he may not forget that there are always two questions to be asked concerning any of the phenomena of the world and of life: How did it come to be? What does it mean? The question of process, of mechanical explanation, and the question of meaning, of ideal interpreta tion. And men cannot help asking the second question as well as the first. As Watts says, endeavoring to put into words the constant thought back of all his own work as an artist: As long as humanity is humanity, man will yearn to ascend the heights that human footsteps may not tread, and will long to lift the veil that shrouds the enigma of being; and he will most prize the echo of this longing in even the incoherent expression of literature.
