"So many people walk around with a meaningless life.
They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important.
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."


Greta, that passage struck me also.
Read that passage over and over.
I had to do some soul searching...

It dawned on me that I am spending most of my time on "meaningless items"
Focus on people around me rather than work itself or wealth...
I am not so good with people but looks like I'll need to learn to love, listen & interact more with people. Starting with ones that are close to me.

It must have been very hard for you both physically and emotionally having your mom with ALS. I had a coworker who had either ALS or similar symptom. Haven't heard from him over a year now. Better pay a visit before too late...
