We are meaning making machines. Washing machines are built to wash clothes; human beings are built to make meanings. We can't ever stop making meanings, and the meanings we make generally don't serve to have us live fulfilled, inspiring lives full of possibilities.
Traffic is just traffic. Your mother is just your mother. Poverty and hunger are just poverty and hunger. None of them mean what we make them mean, not REALLY.
