What is the purpose of life? Have you ever heard that question asked? Why are we here? How should we act? Should we be ruthless and dishonest and claw our way past others to get the biggest piece of the pie? What are we expected to do during our lifetime?
You probably already know my answer to the above questions. I think we are all here to each make a difference for the better. We all should contribute to the common good, but that's just my opinion.

It would seem that the great essayist, lecturer, and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson agreed. It was he who said “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
What do YOU think is the purpose of life?
