At one point in "Cloud Atlas," which I talked about yesterday, too, the Prescient remarks that some people have a "hunger for more."  How very true.  Without this hunger for more, humanity would not be.  People are born to seek more, to strive beyond the moment, to look into things they do not know.  It is the hunger for more that drives humanity forward, that impels people to experiment and explore, that births new worlds.
     Yet as nearly everyone in the movie eventually learned, it is this very hunger for more that brings humanity into conflict, conflict with the world, conflict with itself.  It thrusts humanity into worlds it cannot always control, propels them into conditions with which it cannot always cope.  It grows and develops even as it undermines and pulls down.
     On the other hand, unless we hunger, we will not eat.  For those in the movie who pursued their hunger, their hunger for more, though they may have experienced difficulty and hardship, in the end, they found a far richer meaning.  They had no regrets.
     It's a good analogy of faith.  By its very nature, faith is a hunger for more, a hunger that, like any hunger, assumes that there is a more to be found.  That there is more to be found is a assumption that all of us make, regardless of how we frame the substance of our faith (and let's be honest:  we all live by some type of faith).
     So given that we all live by faith, the question all of us must ask is this:  is that in which we have faith sufficient to satisfy every hunger we have?
     Just having the hunger is not enough.
