Before I put patients to sleep for their colonoscopies, I ask if they have any questions. Many comically reply, “Doc, what’s the meaning of life?” I always reply that their question cannot be answered because there is no one meaning to life, but instead the question should be, what gives meaning to their individual life? In the first half of "In The End," five characters work thru a variety of life issues in the search for what gives meaning to their lives.
