A Cause

 I suspect that someone who is inebriated with a cause or maybe just inebriated, are quite certain of their cause and themselves as they talk with enthusiasm about “the solution to life” or the answer to life.  They are not much in listening to any other opinion or alternate way that might threaten their certainty.  Their solution, filled with animated talk, may be in religion, politics, lifestyle, or relationship.  But I think at the route of this is a living outside of oneself.  That is, being interiorly empty, spiritually lost, bobbing around in a sea of alienation, grasping for meaning.
