Back to Mark Twain. I think he was the one that said "Man is the only animal that laughs or cries. And the only one that needs to."
All that comes to mind at the moment is...
"What it is."
I don't think that man recognizes what is lacking in the world unless he can recognize what is lacking in himself.
