Summary

This quote suggests that without a belief system or values to guide us, life loses its purpose and significance. If we deny the existence of meaning and value in anything, we are left with a world where everything is permissible, but ultimately inconsequential. By embracing beliefs and values, we find direction, prioritize what matters to us, and create a sense of significance in our actions and choices. Without these foundations, life becomes a void where nothing truly matters or holds any importance.

The walls were coming down around me, but still, I couldn't imagine telling the truth. Not now. It was too late. How can I tell Mom and Dad what we'd done? It would ruin everything.
