Human: How our deepest longings lead us home – Matthew Lewis

A5, 132p.

What does it mean to be human? It’s an essential question that we seldom stop to consider in our fast-paced age of life hacks and filters. If headlines are anything to go by we seem to be suffering from a kind of species-wide amnesia as to the reason for our being.

We’re restless. Reaching for superficial satisfaction to plug the leaking holes in our existential buckets. It’s a strategy that’s bound to fail. The ache we’re trying to soothe, that burning in our bones, is crying our for substance, not selfies.

It is the symptom of our deepest longings for the eternity from which we were made. Longings for Goodness, Beauty and Truth that, if we give them our attention, can lead us home.
