Sorry for not posting for a few days. The dragon had me by the throat, but I finally gained some ground.
So, it's not what do I want to be when I grow up, but WHO do I want to be? What kind of person will I be today...every day? I'm not defined by what I do, but by my actions, which show my true character. I can do good toward everyone--if not out of love, then at least out of compassion, because almost everyone I meet is suffering in some way--or I can act selfishly, only for me and what I can get out of Life. But, everything I do, even if I'm completely "alone" has a consequence and a potential effect on someone: it's a stone dropped into a pond.
I can act like I'm an island, independent, self-sufficient, isolated. Or, I can build a bridge to that other "island," who--once he/she sees my efforts--may just start building a bridge toward me, too. Reach out, dear reader. I'm reaching out with you...
