"Looking for Our True and Lasting Identity?"
People are always on the search for happiness, comfort, pleasure from any earthly value, namely, education, economics, politics, or from any other value that is on the surface of the earth. They may feel empty, incomplete, and lacking something. They look for things of value which are outside of themselves. They seem unable to learn the lesson that whatever they achieve and take from the earth can never satisfy their innermost being.
