Why EVERYONE is needed and important!

If you're like me, you have often wondered if there is any point to your existence, or what good you're doing in the world, or whether anybody really needs you.  I just realized the answer to that question.

The world is full of work that isn't getting done, especially works of love and compassion.  We need every single human being available, now and for as long as our species survives, to contribute to getting all that work done!  The work to be done will never end.  There will always be someone who needs help of some kind, and sadly, there are always many needs going unmet every single day.  There's more than enough work to keep every single person on this planet busy doing good!

So if you're alive, you're needed.  You can do something to relieve some of the suffering in this world, and if you make this your mission, you will never run out of things to do.  Somebody needs you right now.  Go find out who it is.  And never, ever let yourself feel useless again!

Interesting blog since I just watched Martian Child for the first time (my face is still wet). Yeah, I think you're right.

I haven't seen that . . . was it on cable?

My sister rented it yesterday because she was bored. (And then she decided she didn't want to watch it.) I gave it a go. I like John Cusack a lot. I liked the movie... definite tear-jerker (for me). It's worth a watch if you ever do see it on TV though.

Okay, thanks for the recommendation. :)
