The Shift team finds ourselves troubled by the loss of hope and meaning in people’s lives. To tell the truth, some of us feel this loss within ourselves. We hear word of a quest—a quest to a dangerous island, the Island of Meaning. This island proves tricky, as the barriers to completing the journey become more and more complicated the further we go. Yet, we feel we have no choice but to embark on this journey, as our only other option is to stand by and watch hopelessness and the absence of meaning and purpose increase.
