My biggest struggle in life is meaning. I want everything to mean something.
What happened to just living life and being happy? Not everything can be thought-out with an impact crater the size of the moon. I don't think great people try to be great people, they just try to be people. Mother Teresa said, "We cannot do great things, only small things with great love."
Maybe it's not all about making every stomach full, or curing cancer, or making the government work how it's supposed to. Yes, those are great goals, but great goals aren't fulfilled overnight. It takes many drops to fill and ocean, moving multiple pebbles to move a mountain. It's doing something small--teaching a classroom of oblivious students, inviting the lonely kid to hang out, making a meal for someone incapable of doing so for themselves--that makes a difference.
"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." - Mother Teresa
