几乎所有追求终极真理的人，最后都会归结到理性和精神的满足。物质和肉体的满足太容易得到和实现，因此无法持久，富足的人并不一定幸福快乐，这已经众所周知。当然，一直处于贫困的人除非获得饱暖，否则无法理解上面这句话。但是当人得到了满意的物质条件，会发现就算他继续拥有更多的物质，也无法使幸福感相应增加，幸福感反而会降低也说不定。 因此通往真正幸福的道路不在这里。花生在吃了三天的生煎小笼之后就不觉得它们多么好吃了。

从生物学角度来说，活着其实是没有意义的。活着就是活着。一大堆细胞在运作。由嫩而老，由盛而衰。其他活物对此都没意见，只有人类不行，人类非得给自己的存在找一个理由，这是这种生物很奇怪的一个特征。绝大多数人，给自己找的存在理由不外乎社会地位（艾洛特）、物质生活（伊莎贝尔）、感情（索菲）等等，找到之后就心满意足。人类社会的形成和设计在某种程度上是为这些需求服务的。但是有少数人，脑子里的沟回比别人深一些，或者经历比较特殊，会发现自己不满足于获得世俗的成功和幸福，他们会问：我活着到底是为什么？我究竟为什么存在？然后有一股神秘的力量推动他们去找答案。这些少数人中的少数人，有可能找到答案。
