A Life Worth Living


Is your life worth living? I tend to ponder this question, repeatedly, within the own confinds of my mind. What have I done, or anyone for that matter, to say that 'Yeah, I honestly made a difference with my life.'? I haven't done anything in my seventeen years on this Earth that I consider "Spectacular" and I'm sure (there's no offence meant in this) neither have most of you. I look at the people surrounding me and wonder what I could possibly do for them, for their future, and even for the Earth. They say that one person can make a difference, thats been proven true on small scale situations but what about large scale events like the situation in Darfur or the crisis World Hunger? Is it that one person makes a difference in tipping the scale or that because one person has done something that they've lit a fire inside another? Does it cause a chain reaction? A "Domino Affect", if you will? None the less, taking a stand and saying something or taking an action to do what you or I believe is individually right in our own hearts could, possibly, cause a chain reaction. Say this happens, you cause a chain reaction...will you still sit within your room and ponder that question of "Is this life worth living?"or will you look up at the stars remembering on how you were in the gutter but are now looking up at the stars. I know one truth, at this moment in time, that I am indeed looking up at the stars.
