The lesson I learn , each day, to know that we are totally interedependent with nature gives me hope that I have something to contribute to this world . And that is why I have been brought here .
Many amongst us feel that we have nothing to contribute. I look at a lowly Butterfly to the mighty mountain. A simple bacteria to curdle the milk to a powerful HIV virus to correct people who do immoral things ...... I see in all of them a contribution to the world.
And that , I see, as my meaning to life.

knowing that my life is not about me--it's about living for others--Christ was the perfect example so he gives me meaning ultimately

living for God...if you really think about it it is the ONLY thing that gives meaning because all else is temporary and passes away...read Ecclesiastes in the Bible it is only a few pages long

survival-I need to thrive and be capable of living withour fear

family and friends- I need to be a part of a collective, the older I am, the more I appreciate the simplicity and wonder of youth. I need to be admired by others and I need to admire others.

religion-I need a relationship with God
