Your quote by David Bayles, “The meaning of the world is made, not found,” reminded me of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.s words: "Like life, racial understanding is not something that we find but something that we must create. What we find when we enter these mortal plains is existence; but existence is the raw material out of which all life must be created. A productive and happy life is not something that you find; it is something that you make.…"
I hope you'll keep working on that essay!
