purpose...

this quote was sent to my email yesterday, i just thought this makes sense. ok sa timing eto kahapon nung mabasa ko kasi i was feeling depressed & frustrated about my life. haaay! minsan tuloy naiisip ko ano nga ba ang purpose ng existence ko sa mundong ito? am i such a bad person not to deserve a bit of happiness? :-(

"Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stomp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the ripples in a pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer." - Norton Juster, "The Phantom Tollbooth"
