    “Man’s search for meaning”

    When one focuses on the meaningless, of course there’s no meaning.

    Life is… It’s up to us as individuals to find our own meaning.

    A primal one throughout history is family. The older I get, the more meaningful I find it to help family/friends, rather than focus on my own issues. It really helps us move beyond our own barriers and mundane concerns.

    If I can pass on something of real meaning and value to my nieces and nephews, then I’ll have accomplished something significant. It’s the best one can hope for, and if we were all so fortunate to do the same, the difference it would make for mankind would be immeasurable.

    Not a singular great hero, just millions of us doing seemingly small, but significant things.
