We ask ourselves: what kind of relationships or connections do we want to establish with our friends or partners? We might also ask about the kind of society would we like to live in; and possibly, as we start thinking about our life, some other questions become more urgent: is this world or this life all there is? Is there perhaps another world or even another life apart from this one? And if there is, how would we know about it? These are the sort of questions that have fascinated all humans since the beginning of time; the answers to these questions concern us directly and once we are satisfied with them we feel that they can give our life on earth a meaning.
