[Steely Tom]

Those who are confused, conflicted and lost now really didn't have a clue in the first place. They understood what they did but not why. Went through the motions.

That's the nice thing about a culture. Most people don't have to understand why they do what the do. They just "go through the motions," and everything works out.

Of course, I guess if you don't understand why you are going through the motions, you won't be able to defend your reasons for doing so when your way of life is threatened.

Every word true.
