Why doesn't it surprise me that your life is a quest (rhetorical question of course)?

I think it's because everyone is seeking for the true answer, what really is life and what is the meaning of mine. So we lead ourselves into things that make us seem like a better person searching for the purpose of ourselves.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
