[It seems like the sort of thing that's worth asking about? Because all of that was a little...
Well, honestly it just seems sort of surreal now.]
It's always struck me as interesting. That people can just be...not spiritual like that. But then, it's always been important to me, and I can see where it's important to these people too.
No matter where they are, people want to believe their lives have meaning. The beliefs around the Kenoma are a good way to provide that meaning - hedonism means that nothing is a waste as long as you enjoy it, the lack of unconditional love also implies a lack of heartbreak, everything leading into destruction ensures that even your death has meaning, even if whatever end you meet is inevitable. It's an enviable way to live, really.
