I find this to be a pretty provocative piece about how our culture has pretty much voided the potential for filling the holes in our souls. I also like the reference to Joseph Campbell (The Hero With A Thousand Faces).

I think the culture has missed the boat on recognizing and addressing our spiritual needs, and I don't mean that from a religious POV. We can talk about gun control, and DSM codes, but with all the war on drugs and mental health resources, we don't seem to be fixing the problem.
