Indeed. Imo e.g. also (after Terry Pratchett, Hogfather): 

 

Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy.  And yet you act as if there is some ideal order in the world, as if there is some rightness by which it may be judged.
 

“Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point.”

 

 

Maybe expound on that since I'm not sure if that was meant as sarcasm or your pov..

I never intentionally use sarcasm. I think it’s a block to communication. I had first of all simply only posted “amen”, as for me your OP text is close to my heart. Then I thought better not go too RC, as this is a Daoist forum, so I deleted that. Then I wanted to put something in the empty box, and remembered someone once told me about the Terry Pratchet quote being about the same, et voila!  If you like, I can remove that post.

your quote does not sound of the same meaning to me?  Btw. it's up to you and not to me about removing one of your posts....
