"Many theorists believe that the basic challenge of of modern life has become the search for meaning or a sense of direction."

I believe this to be true. In today's world especially. We've all felt the pressures of life, light or heavy on our shoulders. Each person is just one of the million people on this earth trying to make ends meet. Most situations are different, from some others point of view seems like nothing and to others like everything. But none the less to every individual, a problem that stresses to their fitted lifestyles and commendations. We act just as robots do, with a routine to do daily, tasks as an endless cycle, its hard just to put things down to see the bigger picture and reflect on life or its meaning or even the the direction we wanted to take. Most of the time its not what direction we want to take but what we have to take.
