Epilogue - Facts the Heart Can Feel

Summary

This book has been a sustained invitation to care about meaning. The first chapter dealt with such caring explicitly – wanting to please the Divine One, who has created humans with a desire to exemplify intrinsic goods, prompts one to care about meaning. Three chapters described conditions that caring about meaning address – existential boredom, fear of death, and finding an answer to the question, “Why do I keep living?” The enhancement thesis – that believing in a loving creator and in life beyond death can enhance one’s life significantly – invites one to consider how one’s life can become more meaningful. Thedescribed some ways how one could live so as to die well, ways whose attractiveness can move one to care about them.
