We may or may not ever find the purpose for our lives. But, saccharine and old fashioned though it may be, the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" makes one think, how have I affected the world around me? We may never know for sure, (we can't all have Clarence the Angel spell it out for us) but hopefully in more possitive than negative ways. Stay in the fight and keep spreading as much positivity as you can (as you do on this forum) and what more can anyone ask of you?
