Can one person make a difference?

Question

Even if he/she has not particular qualities or gifts nor anything to teach or to leave to anybody, and there's nobody caring for him/her.....is this life worth living....? What do you REALLY think?

Answer 1

The additional details you provided make yours a loaded question. The person who has no qualities or gifts or anything (material) to leave to anybody. That person doesn't exist. And that person is definitely not YOU because you just touched my life.

One person can make a difference. Think of a gigantic snowball. How did it get to be that size without first starting off as a tiny snowball and then begin rolling, rolling, and more rolling? This is our lives amplifying over and over our good experiences and bad ones too. Unless you live in a box people will see you. You make a difference in their lives, no matter how large or small you think it is. And for that their lives will be changed forever.

Keep your head up and good luck!

Answer 2

You need to watch that old Christmas movie, "It's A Wonderful Life." It's kinda corny but so true that the life of one person makes a big difference in this world.

You may not see yourself as a gifted person but you do have an influence on others. Try making a difference in some small way. Sit down with a child and read a book. Adopt a pet from an animal shelter. When you are out shopping you can help an old person that is struggling to open a heavy door. Get started today. Good luck.

Answer 3

I'm sure one person can make a diffrence even if its for the bad if you go on a shooting spree you will certainly make a diffrence to alot of peoples lives. I think i'm the same really i am a cross border person and tend to average everything rather than have any gifts or special qualities...everylife is worth living well unless your quality of life is seriously low then it might be more like hell.

Even if you started with just going against the crowd doing what you thought was right you never know where you could end up look at the suffrogetts! If everyone was just a bit nicer a bit freindler and stoped giving in to crimials such a diffrence can be made just takes one person to start it...one person can create a cure to ADIS even by accident! and one person can make a virus to wipe everyone else.

Answer 4

YES!!!!! take all the once nobodys for example... hitler, the presidents, the founding fathers, singers, artists-- they were all no bodys that shook the world. do you think that abe lincoln woke up and said i might run for president, NO! Everyone is a nobody but its how we make ourselves known, heard, seen. Life is really worth living, everybody is somebody to a nobody. Meaning, even if you dont ever know, you WILL change someones like if you havent already. You will do great things. its not a maybe or possibly, its a fact. So being unaware of affecting someones life may be rough to accept as doing good, but believe me you will affect someone. Could be any time, possibly by posting this question or whatever your doing tuesday of next week and so on. you will make a difference. life isnt always worth living, but living the life we were given isnt a choice, but the choice is how we live it. how me make things worth with what we have. its the beauty of this life, no body can take away what you've created for yourself so far. your memories. everyone has qualities to somebody, they just dont always know.

Answer 5

Everyone can make a difference and there's a purpose for our lives. No-one is too old to learn something new, even the children can teach us precious and beautiful lessons. We all are on earth to gain experience and become better persons.
It depends on ourselves to make our lives worth living. Why not dedicate a bit of our times helping someone in need, for example, an elderly person, a child or any human being?
Mother Theresa's life is a good example to be followed.

Answer 6

Yes! This is one of the most worthwhile questions that I have seen on here and touches on exactly what are the essences of a quality life. First, I believe every one has gifts or talents. Remember that you as a parson are full of inherent value. You are a magnificent creature capable of the most awe-inspiring virtue and actions in the universe. Even if you posses only minimal gifts you can make a huge impact on a person’s life just through kind compassionate acts. Showing people that someone values them is one of the greatest things that you can do. The most important and costly gift you have to give is not your money or your talents but it is your time I personally have seen time spent with the elderly make a huge impact on their quality of life. Even in this case where no one is caring for this individual the potential for greatness and an uplifted existence is there. That potential gives reason for hope. Hope is a very powerful reason to continue to live.

Answer 7

One person can make a difference... good or bad

When most people think of a quality or gift,
they usually mean that the person is:

(1) kind....
(2) able to do math without studying
(3) have a special way of teaching or communicating.

Society points a finger and tells us most of the time, what is good, or what is bad, or what is indifferent.

You asked what I think.

Life is worth living. Rich, poor, talented, or just plain ordinary.
If you don't hurt yourself or others in the process,
you will find people loving you, just for being you.

So, even if he/she has no particular qualities, gifts, etc., etc.,
they can give of themselves, in the form of time, service, and just plain hugs and love, which so many people need.

May God bless Him/Her (AND you) today....

Answer 8

Everyone we meet we can learn something from and teach something to. Our words can be put on the net and read by millions. Even if you're just looking after your family or planting more trees than you use you're making a difference. We can make a greater difference to a greater number of people. Life is always worth living, it is an opportunity to experience many things, learn and help others.

Answer 9

Morning :-)

Yes.

Everybody is different and everybody has particular qualities, gifts and something to teach. We are learning every second of every day! In return people are watching our behaviour, body language, the things we say .. they are being taught off us! That's one reason why this world is so complicated - we watch other peoples behaviour and follow examples. Criminals learn to commit offences of seeing and hearing others do so. But equally people learn to live and have the energy to live of those they see achieve success, start families, find true love, be happy ..

Some people like you say have nobody caring for him/her but that doesn't mean that the life isn't worth living. It just means the life has to be lived for different reasons. Many people including I live for our families and friends as well as myself - If you don't have any family or friends you have 2 options.

The first option, you find somebody or a group of people to live for. You try something new and make friends, maybe even find love. You then have a great reason to live. The second option, you live for yourself. No matter whether you have family or friends you should ALWAYS be living for yourself anyway. What did you want to do when you were a little girl or boy? A holiday to Turkey? Hiking in Southern Wales? Visiting orphan children in North Africa? MAKE IT HAPPEN! Its never too late ..

Unless you have committed a ghastly crime that deserves you to be be-headed - EVERY life is worth living! You only live once - make the most of it and live every day as if its your last!

Thank You
& Take Care ..
