[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 476703, member: 2318"] What is your purpose in life? When I was younger, I supposed that this question means something like what Hillary Clinton means when she says, "I want to make a difference." Not to pick on Hillary, lots of people have affirmed this thought. It may be part of the DNA of someone who would consider running for Prez. Richard Nixon used to compare himself to the "man in the arena." It's a view of the world from 40,000 feet. All well and good, but the older I get the more inclined I am to try to do what positive thing needs to be done right around me in the short term. It's taking the view from ground level. I choose to donate that spare $100 to my grand boy's college fund rather than to rebuild Haiti or whatever. It's hard to make a difference in this big old world, but I can see a difference in the part around me. Maybe humility comes with a bit of age. I've always been intrigued by a question memorably asked by Dr. Freud: "Dear God, what do women want?" [/QUOTE]
