The Story Beneath The Story
The story we follow is "The Wanderer," by Edward W. Ludwig, which was published in the July 1953 edition of *If World of Science Fiction*. Considering this incredible tale of spacemen traversing the black void, I found myself thinking, what does it even mean to have a life purpose, especially when looking at the vast unknown ahead?
We start with the epic journey and the discovery of a new, inhabitable world, which naturally inspires me to think about my own journey and the ways I have tried to define myself. By placing the amazing story alongside my life memories, we can explore one simple, profound concept: the difference between goals and genuine purpose.
