The plight of man is pitiable. We are wanderers in a vast universe, helpless before the havocs of nature, dependent upon nature for food and other necessities, and uninformed as to why we were born and what to strive for. Man is alone in a cold and alien universe. He gazes upon the mysterious, rapidly changing, and endless world about him and is confused, baffled, and even frightened by his own insignificance.
