"So much wanting. So much longing. And so much pain, so close to the surface, only minutes deep. Destiny pain. Existence pain. Pain that is always there, whirring continuously just beneath the membrane of life. Pain that is all to easily accessible. Many things–– a simple group exercise, a few minutes of deep reflection, a work of art, a sermon, a personal crisis, a loss––remind us that our deepest wants can never be fulfilled: our wants for youth, for a halt to aging, for the return of vanished ones, for eternal love, protection, significance, for immortality itself.
It is when these unattainable wants come to dominate our lives that we turn for help to family, to friends, to religion––sometimes to psychotherapists." (Irvin D Yalom, 1989, Love's Executioner)
