I think a person comes to a point in life where they feel that what they've done in their life isn't good enough, as if you need to reach out and do something more. Go beyond just helping friends, working community service hours, or walking the neighbor's dog. You look at the world as a whole, and suddenly it doesn't seem all that big anymore. Instead, through your eyes you begin to see the world as something special, and united. It may not seem to be this way at all. I'm contradicting myself aren't I? I guess my point is, there's a moment in life where you must realize taht you will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. And you will never live your life to the greatest potential if the only thing you are searching for the meaning of life. I see life as an opportunity for you to make an impression on other people's lives, and vice versa. The key to what kind of impression you make, that's within your own hands. It may seem unrealistic, but wouldn't it be just easier for people to step into other people's shoes and see the world from a different perspective?? Something to think about...
