We search for it. We demand it. We say we want it. We think we want it.
We are even arrogant enough at times to think we deserve it.

...So are the ways of men marked out;if you desire peace of soul and happiness, believe; if you would become a disciple of Truth,enquire ... (F.Nietzsche)
Is (religious) belief then the equivalent of avoiding it?
The whole 'peace of soul' thing sounds pretty darn good about now, doesn't it?
