Tuesday. Some words



I was reading one of my usual blogs, and the author had written about an article he saw on Roger Ebert. The article was about how he's not of afraid of death, and it was really his musings and views on life. I read it, and this part in particular really resonated with me. I think we all try to do our best. Sometimes it's harder than others, but we shouldn't lose sight that we're all just trying to make our way in life.

"I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out."
