I'll be sure to let you know once I've asked her.

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.
